// Workers AI · dad joke modeDoes the arithmetic-geometric mean go to therapy? Because it's struggling to find a balance.

All wikipedias with one or more articles in addition to the main page are ranked here according to the number of pages. They are ordered by size. New articles, growth, rank and diff are measured against a full calendar year or month.

• The * column denotes the rank change against last year's ranking.
• 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.
• red highlights the worst ten performances in each column.
