  • Data is collected from Wikipedia dumps
  • Graph is made with python-igraph
  • Distributed Recursive Layout algorithm is used for the graph layout
  • Leiden algorithm is used for community detection
  • A valid article is any page in Wikipedia's article namespace excluding redirect pages, disambiguation pages, and soft redirects
  • A valid link is a link in an articles body. Links that appear in or after the "See Also" section and links that appear as footnotes are not included since these are not really a part of the article's body. Links in and after the "See Also" section of pages are typically not used in Wikipedia races.
