After filtering out disambiguation pages, we’re left with a small handful of articles with single-digit annual views (ranging from 7 to 9):


 * Erygia sigillata, a moth species
 * Hilarigona obscurata, a fly species (apparently aptly named)
 * Loxocrambus hospition, a moth
 * Makhoshin, an Iranian village
 * Bojerud, a surname
 * Scrobipalpula crustaria, yet another moth

These obscure 2 or 3 sentence stubs average less than one view per month! That figure is so small, I suspect most or all of those might come from readers hitting the “Random article” button. This would help explain why the least viewed pages in our sample are all disambiguation pages - the “Random article” button was coded to ignore disambiguation pages starting in 2015.

There’s an effective way we can test this hypothesis. And if it’s true, it will give us an important clue for finding the least viewed article on Wikipedia.
