WP:5000

These 5000 pages were the most accessed on the English Wikipedia during the last defined week (see below). The first column is the numerical ranking. The second column is the article title; sometimes the "article" is not really an article, but a script/image/etc. Article designations follow, including featured articles/lists (), former featured articles (), good articles (), delisted good articles (), and assessments (A-class, B-class, C-class, start-class, stub-class, and unassessed-class). Adjacent column(s) describe any edit/move protections the article may be under, as annotated by a legend below. Related statistics/counters appear below the table. The final two columns are (1) the total number of page views, and (2) the percentage of that which is from mobile devices. See the Top 25 for a manually-compiled weekly report that offers a cleaner version of this list and describes what is driving page popularity.
