About this data
Every day we read the previous day’s page views for Wikipedia in seven languages from the Wikimedia Pageviews API. A topic is “rising” when its views jump compared with its own recent average, so a small topic that suddenly doubles can rank above a huge one that stays steady. Main pages, special pages and obvious bot traffic are filtered out.
A spike in views shows curiosity, not approval: news, anniversaries, deaths, sports results and new releases are the usual reasons. Short descriptions come from Wikidata and photos from Wikimedia Commons with their own licence and author.
