User:West.andrew.g/2016 Popular pages header

These 5,000 pages were the most accessed on the English Wikipedia during 2016. The first column is the numerical ranking. The second column is the article title; sometimes the "article" is not really an article, but a script/image/etc. A number of subsequent columns enumerate article designations, as described in the legend at right below. Aggregate statistics related to these designations appear below the table. The second-to-last column is the number of page views. The final columns are the percentage of "mobile" (i.e., cellphones, tablets, etc.) and Wikipedia Zero traffic arriving at the article.

This report is produced in a manner similar to that of the weekly "top 5000". As a consequence, redlinks are omitted and we consider only titles in NS0 "article namespace". Statistics for articles deleted or renamed during the year are still reported.

This report is generated by User:West.andrew.g, or Andrew G. West, in real life. He is unable to address statistical queries regarding other languages/projects, but is particularly interested in academic collaboration regarding this English Wikipedia dataset. A similar aggregation identified the most popular articles in 2015, 2014, and 2013.
