• The ** column denotes the rank change against last month's ranking.
• "N" means a new entry.
• "-" means no change.
• Diff is the relative growth compared to the other Wikipedias, i.e. the difference between the present and past share.
• New share is the share among the new articles.
• green highlights the best ten performances in each column.
