These are the most referenced articles, as counted by incoming internal links, as found in the database dump of January 25, 2006. Only links from article, template, category, and portal namespaces are counted. References from templates transcluded inside an article are not counted. Years (detected as NNNN) are listed separately.
Articles which are linked to from many places generally cover important topics. They are likely to be read often and therefore should be of the highest quality. It may also be the case that such a popular article covers too broad a topic and could benefit from being split into several more concise entries.

[edit] Suggestions for using this information
- Track changes in rank.
- Which are featured articles?
- Which have no counterpart in any given foreign-language Wikipedia?
- Which are popular only because of User:Rambot-created articles?
- Which of these are redirects? Should they be bypassed?
- Which of these are flagged for some kind of cleanup?
[edit] How to update
There are two ways to update this report, which produce slightly different results.
1.) Run the following SQL query on a Link Analysis Database:
select concat( '#[[', art_title, ']] (', links_to, ' articles)' )
from art
where art.art_is_redirect = 0
and art.art_is_stub = 0
and art.art_is_disambig = 0
order by links_to desc
limit 200;
This excludes stubs and disambiguation pages, and only count links from articles. (Not sure about template links.)
2.) Ask User:Beland to do an update; he has some Perl scripts for this purpose. See meta:Toolserver/Reports
