Wikipedia:Top 25 Report/May 2008
- The Wikipedia:Top 25 Report was created in January 2013. This page is part of an archive project to preserve data from previous popular page reports.
← February 2008 – Next month's report? → (If you are aware of sources for most viewed pages from November 2004 - 2008, please share with us! For now see Wikipedia:Top 25 Report/August 2008)
The most viewed articles for May 2008, derived from historical data.
During 2008, a site known as "(THE)wikiStics" maintained monthly most popular viewed-pages data. The May 2008 report was preserved at Wikipedia:Popular pages, see diff. To create the below report in December 2016, we removed non-article pages and created a Top 50 list. (Go to the original source to see the top 5000 URLs).
You will note that popular websites such as Facebook and Youtube take up many spots on the list. This does not occur as of 2016 on the WP:TOP25, and it may be spamming activities were influencing the high view counts of certain articles during this time.
