About this data
This page shows how much surrounding text, or 'context', is typically provided for hyperlinks within Wikipedia's 'See Also' sections. We measure this by calculating the average character count of the text surrounding each link.
These numbers are derived from a large-scale analysis of Wikipedia articles. The 'See Also' section is a crucial part of a Wikipedia page, helping readers discover related topics. By tracking the context length, we can observe trends in how editors are choosing to present these links.
Understanding this 'context density' offers insight into evolving editorial practices. It helps us see if linking is becoming more or less descriptive, potentially impacting how easily readers can understand the relevance of a linked article and its discoverability.
