Pages can “trend” on Wikipedia…?
WikiReader shows them, but now that I look into it, I’m not sure whether that’s a thing on Wikipedia
It’s a generated, not curated list.
You’d need to develop something to “guess” based on external search trends.
Yeah, um… that’s not a thing.
Wikipedia has featured articles and news articles on its main page. But “trending”? No.
wikipedia’s traffic is public data. articles do trend over time on the site and it’s a separate phenomenon from the featured content.
sometimes a random article pops up in the trends on a given day or week. OP wants a way to know why.
Huh. I learned something today.
