User:West.andrew.g/2017 Popular pages header

These 5,000 pages were the most accessed on the English Wikipedia during 2017. 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 legends at right below. Aggregate statistics related to these designations appear below the table. The final three columns are (1) the total number of page views, (2) the percentage of that which is from mobile devices, and (3) the percentage from the Wikipedia Zero project.

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 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.
