If you have any questions, which are not answered here, or suggestions, feel free to contact me .
Data
The data is collected from the wikimedia dumps at: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ or one of their mirrors. These dumps contain sql dumps of various wikipedia tables . I currently use the page , pagelinks , and linktarget tables to generate the stats.
Frequency : The dumps appear to be updated every month at the 20th and the first. Hence the dump dates are typically yyyyMMDD and end with 01 or 20. You can read more about it here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
Validity
The pagelinks and linktarget table don't always accurately reflect the actual links on the webpage. For example: the https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nati_il_21_aprile page is frequently updated. The link to Wesllem was removed on the second october at 1am and added back at 8am . However it was present at the 24th september (See: history ). It appears that as a result the 20251001 dumpdate does not contain this link. Which makes sense as the corresponding table dump was finished at 2025-10-02 04:51:21.
Accessibility
Im trying to improve the accessibility of this website and make it mostly usable even without javascript. If you find something which works suboptimal please don't hesitate to inform me.
Technical
The frontend is built using AstroJS and is mostly static. For the interactive parts SolidJS is used. The (network) graph visualizations use Sigma.js in the background. And the charts use Chart.js
Finding the shortest path at shortest path works using a bidirectional breadth first search. In comparison to a normal bfs this drastically improves performance. Credits https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/ for this idea.
