About this data
This page reveals patterns in how Wikipedia's internal links change over time. We analyse the complex web of redirects, specifically focusing on 'loops' – chains of redirects that ultimately lead back to themselves.
We measure two key metrics: the median size of these loops and the total count of unique loops found within Wikipedia's vast database. These numbers provide a unique snapshot into the dynamic nature of the encyclopaedia's structure.
Understanding redirect loops is crucial for anyone interested in Wikipedia's internal mechanics and how its content is organised and linked. The insights here are rarely published due to the technical challenges of collecting and analysing this data.

Why this isn't published anywhere else
While there are resources and documentation about Wikipedia's redirect system, there isn't a dedicated website or dashboard that regularly publishes statistics specifically on Wikipedia redirect chain loops, but some related data and research are available.
