User:West.andrew.g/Popular redlinks/header


This is a weekly list of the most requested red links on Wikipedia. It was developed as a corollary of the Top 5000. While this list contains many non-human views, this list can help identify notable topics and search requests that should be created or redirected. This list displays redlinks that have 1000+ views in the prior week interval (run on Sunday mornings, UTC locale). The percentage of views from mobile devices and the Wikipedia Zero project are also broken out (see [1]); and may prove helpful in eliminating automated requests. Heuristics have been installed so that common scripts, images, and cache items are excluded in favor of elements that appear to be legitimate page/search titles.

Note that redlinks are guaranteed to be "red" only at the time of report generation. Community work may cause portions of this list to become "blue-linked" throughout the course of the week.
