These 5,000 pages were the most accessed on the English Wikipedia during 2015.[a] The first column is the numerical ranking.[b] The second column is the article title; sometimes the "article" is not really an article, but a script/image/etc.[c] A number of subsequent columns enumerate article designations, as described in the legend at right below.[d] Aggregate statistics related to these designations appear below the table. The next-to-last column is the number of page views.[e] The final columns are the percentage of "mobile" (i.e., cellphones, tablets, etc.) and Wikipedia Zero traffic arriving at the article.
This report is produced in a manner similar to that of the weekly "top 5000". However, this report will omit redlinks and articles that were deleted during the year.[f]. This report is generated by User:West.andrew.g, or Andrew G. West, in real life. He is unable to address statistical queries regarding other languages/projects, but is particularly interested in academic collaboration regarding this English Wikipedia dataset.
