Web Caching Evaluation from Wikipedia Request Statistics - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Gerhard Hasslinger, Mahmoud Kunbaz, Frank Hasslinger and Thomas Bauschert.

Overview

Wikipedia is one of the most popular information platforms on the Internet. The user access pattern to Wikipedia pages depends on their relevance in the current worldwide social discourse. Authors use publically available statistics about the top-1000 most popular pages on each day to estimate the efficiency of caches for support of the platform. While the data volumes are moderate, the main goal of Wikipedia caches is to reduce access times for page views and edits. Authors study the impact of most popular pages on the achievable cache hit rate in comparison to Zipf request distributions and authors include daily dynamics in popularity.
