What about for "Philosophy" itself? I tried it and it seems like I wound up in a loop around "Indo-European languages" which didn't include "Philosophy", but it's possible I might have accidentally clicked the second link somewhere.
What if you set a bunch of random walkers churning through wikipedia, following not the first link but a random link from each page? The frequency with which we wound up visiting any given page would tell us something about the importance of that subject to the total schema of knowledge that wikipedia represents.
(That wasn't a particularly good use of the word "schema", I just kinda wanted to say it.)
