Display policy

Ranking Almanac shows the monthly pageview rankings Wikimedia publishes. We keep the data as published and adjust what we show as follows.

Left out of the rankings

• Articles about methods of suicide or self-harm.
• Sexual content: names of sexual acts, and adult-industry works, companies, websites and performers. Anatomy, medicine, health and sex education stay.
• Articles whose own title is a slur.

Not picked for highlights

The highlights and extracts (Highlights, Read in one edition only, Popular in Japanese outside the English Top 1000, Biggest rank gaps) also leave out the following. They stay in the rankings.

• Incidents, accidents and disasters.
• People by their role in a crime: perpetrators who were convicted, or who were named as perpetrators and have died; and people killed in a recent incident.
• Pages with abnormal traffic (likely automated), and non-article pages.

Ranks

Ranks are Wikimedia's own. A row we leave out leaves a gap; other rows are not moved up.

Each edition has its own rules

Each language edition is judged by its own rules, because categories differ between editions, so the scope differs too. An article left out of the rankings in one edition is left out in every edition when it is the same Wikidata item.

The complete data

This site has no page with every row. The complete data are available from Wikimedia: Topviews and the Wikimedia Analytics API.

Please note

The judgement uses Wikipedia categories and Wikidata. We cannot promise that every such article is caught.
