It is not known which pages had led the ranking during Wikipedia's first months, although by the end of the first month (January 31, 2001) the most viewed page was Usenet cabal. Wikipedia:Most popular pages October 2001, however, states that the Main page had existed and led by wide margin already in October 2001. According to its information page, the Main page was created as Wikipedia marked its first year, on January 26, 2002. For comparison, " Baby Shark", which leads YouTube for the most views on that site has 11.9 billion views. The undisputed leader is Wikipedia's Main page, with over 46.8 billion views as of January 2023-more than the rest of the Top-100 list combined, including non-ranked pages. Other versions of top-lists for shorter periods are regularly published and discussed by external popular media. The same year the BBC news website published an article discussing most searched Wikipedia articles in 2012 in different languages. In 2013, an external media source attempted to determine the 10 most popular Wikipedia pages of all time. University Degli Studi di Milano created an engine of the complete yearly ranking of all Wikipedia articles for 2014–2021. One scholar in 2007 was puzzled why Wikipedia does not offer a "most viewed" or "most popular" feature on its site that can be easily found, as is the case on some contemporary highly visited sites, such as YouTube, Digg or. Even if known, they would not alter either the ranking, or views counted in hundreds of millions.īeing one of the best indicators of "what the collective world is thinking about," the list of most viewed Wikipedia pages receives wide attention in unassociated institutions and external popular media sources. Moreover, as views accumulate over time, the pre-2007 views become ever less significant. Wikipedia reached the top 10 of in March 2007, only half a year earlier, and before May 2003 Wikipedia had not even been on this list of 3000 websites. Wikipedia logged significantly less views before the count started in December 2007. For consolation, with this data we are very close to the all time ranking and will ever be closer. The lists below include desktop views since December 1, 2007, and mobile views since July 1, 2015. This presently (until the age of advanced electronic archeology) precludes the possibility of all-time ranking with the multiyear perspective being the closest we can get to. The views data for Wikipedia's first years (2001–2007) is fragmentary and complete data on mobile views is available only since July 1, 2015. The popular pages from December 1, 2007, to the present demonstrates human interests during that period. Making it even better? Its public list of stats, shedding light on what the collective world is thinking about."
