Back in 2014 I computed the PageRanks within English Wikipedia, thanks to their database dump. https://www.nayuki.io/page/computing-wikipedias-internal-pagerank

  That's intriguing. Curious if you ever compared how PageRanks correlate to traffic? (They make their per-page traffic available too.) It would be interesting to see the largest disparities -- super-popular pages in visits but which don't have nearly as many internal Wikipedia links to them, versus unpopular pages but that have tons of internal Wikipedia links to them.

  What page had the highest PageRank?
  • vinger 6y ago
    The homepage.
    • codezero 6y ago
      Would be interesting to see the results if you have that rank to the most viewed page (maybe that is the homepage though)
    • tomaszs 6y ago
      Cool. Was there any surprising result in top highest ranks?

    Here is a plaintext version of Nayuki's results, via the link they posted above: https://www.nayuki.io/res/computing-wikipedias-internal-pageranks/wikipedia-top-pageranks.txt https://www.nayuki.io/res/computing-wikipedias-internal-page... Geographic coordinate system is first.

      Maybe would be better to separate content links from more technically links that come from standardized templates which aren't really part of the article content in a certain sense
