`text`: The HTML Text (After pre-processing) from SuperWIKI converted to markdown with links removed and formatting kept.  
`title`: The title of the wikipedia article.  
`issues`: A list of custom list of templates that has been removed from the html (ala, pre-processing) for the article.  
`selectors`: `issues` are based on templates, which may have multiple templates but mean the same thing.  
In that case, the selectors provide a unduplicated css class selectors that were used for the article. (`Template:Few sources` is the same as `Template:More citations needed` for example.)  
`templates`: Used for debugging but are all the templates found in the article.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

"Wikipedia is a wonderful resources however it could be considered too sparse as there are many articles that are not important for the common user..."

> The abundance of less significant or obscure topics can also contribute to the perceived sparsity. While Wikipedia's commitment to covering even niche subjects is commendable, it might be overwhelming for casual users seeking concise and essential information. For instance, niche historical events, minor fictional characters, or obscure scientific theories might exist as standalone articles, but their relevance to the everyday reader could be questioned. - *ChatGPT*
