Wikipedia Page Link Graph from Philosophy Seed

A graph dataset of Wikipedia page connections, generated by recursively scanning 10,000 pages starting from the "Philosophy" article. The dataset was created by DebasishDhal99 and last updated in April 2025. It captures links between pages, where each row connects a source page title to a linked page title.

Use Cases

• Train graph embedding models on the 'title' and 'link' columns to learn semantic relationships between Wikipedia concepts.
• Analyze network centrality metrics using the link structure to identify important or hub pages in the sampled Wikipedia subgraph.
• Build a link prediction model to estimate the probability of a connection between two given 'title' nodes.
• Study the path characteristics from the 'Philosophy' seed page to other pages within the 10,000-page crawl.

Strengths

• Contains connections from a crawl of 10,000 Wikipedia pages.
• Data generation process is clearly described as a recursive crawl from a single seed.

Limitations

• The sample size of 10,000 pages is a small fraction of Wikipedia, introducing significant sampling bias from the 'Philosophy' seed.
• The crawl was unparalellized and may have missed branches, potentially creating an incomplete local graph.
• No information on row count, column details beyond 'title' and 'link', or data completeness.
