Wikipedia has millions of articles on a wide range of topics, including some that are incredibly obscure and boring. The author of this content claims to have written many of these overlooked articles, which receive very few views. By analyzing page view data, the author discovers that the least viewed pages are often disambiguation pages, which have lower pageviews compared to other articles. The author also explores the functioning of the “Random article” button on Wikipedia and speculates that it plays a role in generating pageviews for the least popular articles. Interestingly, the least viewed articles tend to have smaller random gaps and are often about species of insects or obscure geographical features. The community’s standards for notability and the strict sourcing requirements help maintain the quality of Wikipedia’s articles. Overall, the article sheds light on the least viewed pages on Wikipedia and the factors that contribute to their lack of popularity.
