Wikipedia Hyperlinks (English)
The wikilink network of the English Wikipedia, as distributed by KONECT (wikipedia_link_en), built from the Wikimedia dumps: 12,150,976 articles and 378,142,420 directed links between them, where a link from A to B means article A links to article B (article namespace only; 40,018 pages link to themselves). Counts are those of ECHO's copy of the KONECT archive; KONECT's current release lists 13,593,032 articles and 437,217,424 links, including articles without links. One of eight language editions on ECHO (English, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian); at this size the analytics are computed on disk (Kuzu), with assortativity and bridges sampled. Useful for knowledge-graph and hyperlink-structure analysis, link prediction, community detection and comparison across language editions.

Analytics
The full graph has 12,150,976 nodes; this view shows the 1,000-node sample the pipeline drew for display. Node size is centrality, colour is community.
Computed over the full corpus. Degree assortativity: exact — Pearson correlation of total degree over every edge (DuckDB) Bridge bottleneck count: sampled — computed exactly on the 9759-node viewer subgraph (the graph has more than 300,000,000 edges) Connected components: exact — weakly connected components (NetworKit) Density: exact Reciprocity rate: exact (DuckDB) Top 10 centrality hubs: exact — full degree count (DuckDB)
