Briefly about the method

Wikipedia currently has over 53 million articles in over 300 languages. Despite the impressive number of articles, not all topics can be written in this free encyclopedia. At the same time, the community of each language version has the ability to decide which topic can be described in the encyclopedia, and which is not (for example, article must be notable). In addition, each language version can describe the same topic in its own way – it all depends on the number and experience of interested authors (Wikipedia users who edit articles).

Almost every Wikipedia article has an alignment to certain categories. Additionally, based on the content, you can specify the subject of the article – for example, using semantic relations on Wikidata or DBpedia. More details on the automatic classification process can be found in various scholarly papers (e.g. for articles or sources).

This article selected the most-developed language versions of Wikipedia with more than 1 million articles, including English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish and other. After the classification of articles, only those that are dedicated to individual television series. As a result for English Wikipedia 32915 articles about television series were found, for Spanish – 9043 television series, for French – 8441 television series, for Italian – 7755 television series, for Portuguese – 6887 television series, for German – 5887 television series, for Polish – 5010 television series, for Chinese – 4892 television series, for Arabic – 4368 television series, for Japanese – 4251 television series and for Russian – 4082 television series.

As mentioned earlier, every Wikipedia article can have different language versions, so we can find out different names of the same object (television series). Using open data on Wikipedia article views we can find out how many times a given article has been viewed on specific days. After collecting data for viewing all Wikipedia articles on television series in the appropriate language versions April 2020 ranking of the most viewed was made. First, the positions of television series in the ranking are shown, which were obtained by adding up the page views from different language versions for a given television series. Later, the most popular television series are shown for only one language version of Wikipedia.

Recently we observed that visitors number for some articles was “overclocked” in some periods of time. Therefore, we decide to provide additional modification of the pageview statistics for such cases and change this number (usually by reduction). Fairness of statistics for each article in selected language version in selected months can be assessed using such indicators as: number of the edits and authors, page protection, the rate of citation increasing of the article, popularity statistics of related keywords (phrases) in Google Trends and others.
