wikilinkgraphs — Wikipedia article links, yearly snapshots (WikiLinkGraphs, 2001-2018)

Description

Yearly snapshots of the networks of links between the articles of the nine largest language editions of Wikipedia (as of 2018), German (de), English (en), Spanish (es), French (fr), Italian (it), Dutch (nl), Polish (pl), Russian (ru) and Swedish (sv), from the WikiLinkGraphs dataset of C. Consonni, D. Laniado and A. Montresor. The authors processed the complete edit history dumps of Wikipedia (of 1 March 2018), taking for each page its last revision before 1 March of each year from 2001 to 2018, and extracted the links written in its wikitext (of the form [[target]]).

Nodes are pages of the main namespace (articles), and a directed edge from page A to page B means that the snapshot of A contains a link to B (multiple links from A to B count once). Unlike the links recorded by MediaWiki, the links generated by templates are not included, so that the networks contain only the links added intentionally by the editors. Links to redirect pages were resolved to the articles they redirect to (following the history of the redirects); the redirect pages themselves remain as nodes, with a single outgoing edge to their target and no incoming edges (so that the English network of 2018 has 13.6 million nodes, while the English Wikipedia had 5.6 million articles at the time). Links to pages that did not exist at the time of the snapshot ("red links") and to pages outside the main namespace are not included, and only the pages with some link (incoming or outgoing) are nodes of the networks. Self-loops (pages linking to themselves) are present.

The networks are named by the language code and year of the snapshot, from de-2002 to sv-2018. The snapshots of 2001 are left out for all languages except English, and those of 2002 for Italian and Russian, since they contain no links. The networks of the same language share the page identifiers, so that the nodes of the snapshots can be matched.

Related entries: wikipedia_link has the current links (including those generated by templates) of 168 language editions, from the database dumps of 2026; wikipedia_links_2013 has the links of five language editions in 2013, and of the English Wikipedia yearly from 2015 to 2025, from the Laboratory for Web Algorithmics; wiki_link_dyn and nlwiki_link_intervals have the additions and removals of links over time of the Simple English and Dutch Wikipedias.

The networks have the following properties:

• (Node) page_id: the identifier of the article in its Wikipedia (as assigned by MediaWiki).
• (Node) title: the title of the article (at the time of the snapshot).
