Methodology
For each fixed-watchlist English Wikipedia article, sum monthly user pageviews from January 2019 through December 2025 and calculate the share occurring in its three highest months. This measures attention concentration, not substantive importance or durability. A high score may reflect one external news event, article renaming, or internal Wikipedia traffic rather than a topic's inherent character.
