About this data
This page visualises the evolution of how Wikipedia editors contextualise links within the 'See Also' sections of articles. We measure how much descriptive text is provided alongside external links, offering a unique insight into how information is curated and deemed relevant for readers.
Our analysis is based on a comprehensive dataset of Wikipedia 'See Also' sections, tracked over a significant period. By assigning a 'contextualisation score' to each link, we can quantify the level of detail provided. This allows us to observe trends in editorial practices and understand shifts in how external knowledge is presented and recommended.
The data reveals how the emphasis on providing context for suggested reading has changed. Understanding these trends helps us appreciate the dynamics of knowledge organisation and the collaborative process of information discovery on Wikipedia.
Why this isn't published anywhere else

No live dashboard or regularly updated public dataset tracking this specific metric was found.
Uniqueness score 0.90 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
