Curious what the least viewed article on Wikipedia is? I grabbed 2021 pageview data for a random sample of about 32,000 pages, found single digit annual views and a surprise bias toward disambiguation pages. Then I test whether the Random article button, page_random and random gap explain those least viewed pages.
Rolly's Take
For the curious soul who revels in the overlooked, finding beauty in the mundane. This blog whispers secrets of the obscure, inviting you to ponder the nature of knowledge and the hidden corners of a digital library that many never dare to explore.
