This amount of data can be analyzed in many ways. The best way to get an idea of the bigger picture is with statistics. This page shows some figures about Wikipedia, analysis of different patterns, and compiles related tools, covering various aspects of Wikipedia, whether as an encyclopedia, a website, or a community. Some provide current snapshots and others track growth and development over time. It also includes frameworks and datasets that can help you in creating your own statistics.

Below are links to some of the most prominent pages that serve as hubs for multiple databases and reports that provide continuous updated data regarding recent activity and development at Wikipedia. Other links further down this page pertain to specific quantitative indicators.

Pages are placed in different namespaces according to their contents. Encyclopedic pages (articles, lists and disambiguations) are located in namespace 0 (main), files are in the namespace 6, and categories are in namespace 14. All namespaces have an associated talk page namespace and all of them allow redirects.

As of 2025, the English Wikipedia has Template:NUMBEROF pages. The current text content in all its pages is about 156 GB in size.<ref name="wikiscan enwiki" /> When counting all the revisions in histories, the size is 26,455 GB (26 TB).<ref name="wikiscan enwiki" /> All this data is publicly available and can be downloaded from the Wikimedia Downloads site in different compression formats (7z, bz2).<ref>Wikimedia Downloads</ref>

ArticlesEdit

Talk pagesEdit

As of 2025, the English Wikipedia has 8.1 million talk pages for articles.<ref name="dbpagecountnm" /> The figure is greater than the number of articles because the archival system creates multiple talk pages for some pages when the size is too big.

On average, every year around 2–3 million edits are done by humans to article talk pages, which can be understood as message exchanges during article development.<ref>Wikiscan - Edits by users (humans) to talk pages</ref>

{{Wikipedia:Statistics/Statistics|1=Article talk page edits by year in the English Wikipedia}}

RedirectsEdit

As of 2025, the English Wikipedia has 11.2 million redirects to articles.<ref name="dbpagecountnm" /> On average, every article has almost 2 redirects, though the article with most redirects is Hangul (the modern writing system for the Korean language) with over 7000 redirects.<ref>Wikipedia:Database reports/Articles with the most redirects</ref>

{{Wikipedia:Statistics/Statistics|1=Redirects to articles by year in the English Wikipedia}}

Template:AnchorPage viewsEdit

File:Wikimedia Statistics - Monthly overview - All wikis - Reading - December 2024.png

Wikimedia projects had 296 billion page views in 2024 (24 billion in December 2024).

In 2024, Wikimedia projects had 296 billion page views; this figure is similar to the number of stars in the Milky Way. On average, Wikimedia projects have over 24 billion page views per month, or almost 10,000 page views every second.<ref>Wikimedia Statistics - Monthly overview - All wikis</ref>

Particularly, the English Wikipedia had 130 billion page views in 2024, and 11 billion in December 2024, with 3 billion coming from the United States, 844 million from the United Kingdom, 664 million from India and 368 million from Canada.<ref>Wikimedia Statistics - Monthly overview (en.wikipedia.org)</ref>

In 2024, the ten most viewed articles in the English Wikipedia were Deaths in 2024 (49 million views), YouTube (42M), 2024 United States presidential election (30M), Kamala Harris (29M), Donald Trump (27M), Indian Premier League (24M), Deadpool & Wolverine (22M), Project 2025 (20M), ChatGPT (18M) and 2024 Indian general election (18M).<ref>Topviews Analysis (en.wikipedia.org)</ref> It reflects current events and it is shaped by the geographical procedence of each Wikipedia visitors and their interests. For example, in Spanish Wikipedia none of the ten most viewed articles were about the United States elections, being Donald Trump in the 31st position and Kamala Harris in the 68th.<ref>Topviews Analysis (es.wikipedia.org)</ref>

Most articles have very low traffic. In 2023, 90% of articles averaged between zero and ten page views per day. The median article gets about one page view per week. Because the top 0.1% of high-traffic articles can each get millions of page views in a year, the mean is about 100 times the median.

BlocksEdit

Between 2021 and 2024, ST47ProxyBot blocked millions of open proxies.<ref>Wikiscan - ST47ProxyBot</ref>

{{Wikipedia:Statistics/Statistics|1=Blocks by year in the English Wikipedia}}

ProtectionsEdit

On average, in the last years around 15–20 thousand protections to articles are done annually.<ref name="wikiscan protections">Wikiscan - Protections in namespace 0</ref> From the beginning of the English Wikipedia, articles have received over 416,000 protections.<ref name="wikiscan protections" /> The second and third most protected namespaces are templates (56,000 protections) and user talk pages (47,000 protections).<ref name="wikiscan protections" />

{{Wikipedia:Statistics/Statistics|1=Protections by year in the English Wikipedia}}

DeletionsEdit

In the past several years there has been a decline in mainspace deletions, probably a result of Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed article creation trial in 2017, which restricted article creation to autoconfirmed users.

The graph below shows all deletions in the article namespace, including redirects.<ref>Wikiscan - Deletions</ref>

{{Wikipedia:Statistics/Statistics|1=Article deletions by year in the English Wikipedia}}

QualityEdit

Featured contentEdit

As of January 2025, featured articles comprise 6,665 out of a total of 6,941,668 articles on the English Wikipedia (about 0.1% or one out of every 1,040 articles). There are 4,548 featured lists and 8,199 featured pictures too.

As of 2022, the median article is a stub. This typically means that it contains a few sentences on the subject. (Elements such as images, infoboxes, and most lists are not usually counted in this calculation.)Template:Cn

BiasesEdit

1=Gender gap in biographies in the English Wikipedia}}

Gender bias includes various gender-related disparities on Wikipedia, particularly the overrepresentation of men among both volunteer contributors and article subjects.

As of January 2025, the English Wikipedia has around 400,000 encyclopedic biographies about women, while having over 1.6 million about men.<ref name="humaniki" />

VandalismEdit

As of 2023, about 162,000 unique registered editors and 85,000 unique IP addresses have ever edited an AFD page (usually to comment). This represents 1 out of every 85 successful registered editors.

WikiprojectsEdit

The English Wikipedia has over 2,000 wikiprojects, about 1,000 of which are monitored by 30–2,000 editors, all with varying levels of activity.<ref>Wikipedia:Database reports/WikiProject watchers</ref>

As of 2025, the most active wikiproject (non-related to Wikipedia maintenance) by number of changes to all its pages in the last 365 days is Women in Red.<ref>Wikipedia:Database reports/WikiProjects by changes</ref>

UsersEdit

Users who contribute to Wikipedia by editing its pages are wikipedians, unlike readers who simply read the articles.

As of January 2025, over 11.9 million users have edited the English Wikipedia at least once.<ref name="wikiscan enwiki" /> The number of users with more than 5 edits are 3.6 million (37,750 in the last month).<ref name="wikiscan enwiki" />
