Ranking of the most popular Wikipedia entries. Artificial intelligence and a popular film are at the forefront

The ranking was created based on data from November 28, 2023. According to the Wikimedia Foundation, the English version of Wikipedia had 84 billion views this year. The undisputed leader in popularity was the slogan about ChatuGPT. The article on artificial intelligence has had over 49 million hits. The entry in all language versions of Wikipedia has gained over 78 million views. The Wikimedia Foundation assessed that the high interest in ChatemGPT is the result of the ongoing “debate on the changing role of artificial intelligence, its impact on humanity and the technology sector, and ethical issues.”

Entries related to J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the fathers, also ranked high. The main reason for this popularity is undoubtedly the famous film directed by Christopher Nolan, which took fifth place in the ranking. “Oppenheimer” became famous, among other things, thanks to its media and marketing rivalry with Greta Gerwig’s film, whose world premiere took place on the same day. In the Wikipedia ranking, the film inspired by the famous doll took 13th place.

India dominates the Wikipedia rankings. They brought with them the cricket phenomenon

From a European perspective, the high position of an article devoted to the Cricket World Cup may seem surprising. Contrary to appearances, this sport can boast a huge number of fans, partly due to the popularity of this discipline in India – the largest country in the world in terms of population. Articles about the Cricket World Cup and the Indian Premier League were ranked third, fourth, sixth and ninth, respectively. Much further, however, there were entries dedicated to famous footballers and the football Premier League. They only took 14th, 15th and 16th place.

Entries related to Bollywood productions also ranked high. In eighth and 10th place were the Hindi titles “Jawan” and “Pathaan”, which this year became the highest-grossing films in Indian history. However, the American film “Avatar: Water Creature”, the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time, fared much worse in the Wikipedia ranking.
