About this data
This page monitors the evolution of link types (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Mailto) embedded within the infoboxes of Wikipedia articles categorised as 'List of...'. By analysing these specific elements over time, we can observe trends in the adoption of secure web standards like HTTPS, the rate at which older HTTP links are migrated, and the prevalence of other protocols.
The data is sourced by systematically analysing publicly available Wikipedia article revisions. This granular approach allows us to identify shifts in how information is referenced and the underlying technical standards used within a significant subset of Wikipedia's knowledge base. Understanding these changes can offer insights into the longevity of information, the impact of web security on encyclopaedic content, and the broader digital landscape.
This analysis provides a unique perspective on the dynamic nature of online encyclopaedias. It highlights how technical standards influence content presentation and preservation on a platform as influential as Wikipedia, without focusing on commercial metrics.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
The proposed topic involves a granular temporal analysis of specific link protocols within a particular subset of Wikipedia articles (List of... infoboxes). While general link analysis and infobox data extraction exist, no sources were found that specifically track this precise metric over time.
