Clicking on the first link in the main text of a Wikipedia article, and then repeating the process for subsequent articles, usually eventually gets one to the Philosophy article. As of February 2016, 97% of all articles in Wikipedia eventually lead to the article Philosophy (admittedly, this is somewhat arbitrary, as the same can be said of 'Study', the article the first link from 'philosophy' leads to). The remaining articles lead to an article without any outgoing wikilinks, to pages that do not exist, or get stuck in loops. This has gone up from 94.52% in 2011. The median link chain length to reach philosophy is 23. Notably, starting from the Philosophy article itself, it takes 6 steps to return to it as of March 2017.
There have been some theories on this phenomenon, with the most prevalent being the tendency for Wikipedia pages to move up a "classification chain." According to this theory, the Wikipedia Manual of Style guidelines on how to write the lead section of an article recommend that the article should start by defining the topic of the article, so that the first link of each page will naturally take the reader into a broader subject, eventually ending in wide-reaching pages such as Mathematics, Science, Language, and of course, Philosophy, nicknamed the "mother of all sciences".

And this is! THE PREVILEGE QUIZ! Also, I. Am deeply offended that he didn't ask "Are you Brown"?. DEEPLY OFFENDED! #BROWN_LIVES_MATTER #this_is_the_brown_version_of_feminism #it_ai'nt_making_sense_but_i'm_gunna_carryon_with_the_rant!!!!!!!!11!1!1!!1! *proceeds to cause havoc in his surrounding* Your average offended normie on the internet. But what did you get @khurramzafar? You live in Pakistan, so you should have a pp of -9001. Haha, I have more attacks than you! (guys, there is 4 pages left, guess the reference) The people who say they got 100, or 190, are just absolutely lying. The guy has over 5 minutes, and every answer nets you 50 points, usually up. Anyway, I watched -2 minutes of that. Couldn't stand it. It is said there are more cell-phones than people in Uganda. Yet Internet access is apparently a factor here? (of course, not all videos are available, and bla bla bla other qualifiers, but the point is still true) |

Quality content right here. I liked somewhere around "this has gone up from 94.52% in 2011." Didn't get to the philosophy article though. 8/10 would fail again. |

Does anyone know of the wiki game? The one where you have to find the shortest # of links between 2 pages? |
