[OC] Wikipedia’s most-read pages reveal our shared curiosities

I just published this piece that looks at the most-read English language Wikipedia page from every day of 2025.

I got the data using the Wikipedia API. And I visualized the monthly data using a bit of Python to colour the boxes and spit out an SVG, and then using Adobe Illustrator to clean things up.

For the full data, I tried a few different ways of visualizing it. In particular, I wanted to do something more condensed. But in the end, I think the list visualization ended up being the clearest and allowed me to include all the information on mobile.

Curious what you think!
