This article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:
When Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in September, her Wikipedia article rocketed to the top of the "Top 25 Report," a weekly list of the most popular articles on English Wikipedia [...] According to the Wikipedia volunteers who compile the Top 25 report, only five other articles [besides Sushant Singh Rajput] have ever seen weekly page views pass the 10 million mark[.] The COVID-19 pandemic and the US presidential election dominated the online encyclopedia's year, with seven articles related to the two broad topics landing in its Top 10 for most-viewed articles of the past 12 months. Those seven articles generated a combined 297 million page views, according to preliminary data provided by the site. The Top 10 generated a combined 396 million page views. (Wikipedia published a blogpost with the Top 25 most-read articles on Monday.) [...] Three articles on the coronavirus -- COVID-19 pandemic, coronavirus and COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory -- netted nearly 145 million page views combined. The articles were Nos. 1, 6 and 8, respectively. More articles on the election made the Top 10, though they were more diverse in terms of topic. Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden and the 2020 United States presidential election racked up 152 million combined views. They ranked Nos. 2, 4, 5 and 9, respectively. Articles on late NBA star Kobe Bryant and Britain's Queen Elizabeth II also made the list, as did an annual article on the year's notable deaths. This is my sixth annual post sharing the list of Wikipedia's most popular articles of the year, and each year I've had to come up with different ways of saying "people really love the latest pop culture" ... 2020 was also the year when for the first time "in the (short) history of this list, more than 50 articles got over 10 million unique views!", noted Wikipedia. Wikipedia has shared a list of top 50 but here we bring you the top 10. Film and television dominated Wikipedia's catalog of top 25 most popular articles of the year |

I know WP:NOTFORUM and everything, but I just want to thank all editors who've put effort into creating these reports, including the commentaries. An interesting, quick and easy way for visitors, such as myself, to learn more about certain things happening in our world. --62.166.252.25 (talk) 11:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @CAWylie, Category:Wikipedia Top 25 Report is a main category and weekly Top 25 reports should be added to the subcategory Category:Pages in the Wikipedia Top 25 Report; and if needed more subcategories should be created rather than placing all in one. Thanks! 𝓥𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷24𝓑𝓲𝓸 (ᴛᴀʟᴋ) 04:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 04:15, 17 June 2024 (UTC)ReplyI've put Wikipedia:Top 25 Report/December 31, 2023 to January 6, 2024 into the 2023 category for now, but I thought I'd double check if this is something we want to do? SSSB (talk) 17:11, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm also thinking if we want to put the 2023 annual report into Category:Wikipedia Top 25 Reports in 2023? I would actual suggest as the main report for that category? SSSB (talk) 17:11, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
