Please cite 10.5281/zenodo.789289 for all versions of this dataset, which will always resolve to the latest. ----------------- This dataset contains every instance of all tokens (≈ words) ever written in undeleted, non-redirect English Wikipedia articles until October 2016, in total 13,545,349,787 instances. Each token is annotated with (i) the article revision it was originally created in, and (ii) lists with all the revisions in which the token was ever deleted and (potentially) re-added and re-deleted from its article, enabling a complete and straightforward tracking of its history. This data would be exceedingly hard to create by an average potential user as it is (i) very expensive to compute and as (ii) accurately tracking the history of each token in revisioned documents is a non-trivial task. Adapting a state-of-the-art algorithm, we have produced a dataset that allows for a range of analyses and metrics, already popular in research and going beyond, to be generated on complete-Wikipedia scale; ensuring quality and allowing researchers to forego expensive text-comparison computation, which so far has hindered scalable usage. This dataset, its creation process and use cases are described in a dedicated dataset paper of the same name, published at the ICWSM 2017 conference. In this paper, we show how this data enables, on token level, computation of provenance, measuring survival of content over time, very detailed conflict metrics, and fine-grained interactions of editors like partial reverts, re-additions and other metrics.

Attention: In this current version we spotted an inconsistency with the 'str' column (token values ) in token csv files. Some of the tokens which contain regular quotes ( '"' ) inside were written into csv files without considering " as a quoting character. This will be fixed in an upcoming version. For example a token '"press' must be written into csv as '"""press', but it is sometimes written as '"press' in csv files. To overcome this while parsing csv files: 1. Iterate file in lines - 2. Split line with ',' - 3. Check if str value (4th item after split) starts and ends with '"'. If yes, remove them and replace '""' with '"'.
