This dataset contains human navigation paths on Wikipedia, collected through the human-computation game Wikispeedia. In Wikispeedia, users are asked to navigate from a given source to a given target article, by only clicking Wikipedia links. A condensed version of Wikipedia (4,604 articles) is used. In addition to the navigation paths, we provide the full HTML package of this version of Wikipedia, as well as all articles in plaintext.
