Now split article space into footballer articles and the rest.
Football and footballer articles:

The rest of Article Space:

Bruh. I am very sure more than 70% of Wiki's articles are unknown Olympic atheletes, an unkown church in Northern England, a football team in a university in the US, A national place of US registry, every dreadnought that existed in German Empire. An unknown village in Poland, Turkey and Iran. An episode of an unkown TV show from the early 2000s
Completly relatable even by a much smaller wiki.
And it's beautiful for it.
Or some obscure American villages.
Please don’t post this to r/funny - something tells me that audience won’t get the joke.
I don't get the joke. Would you please explain it to me?
I think the joke is that over time, Wikipedia has hosted more and more user talk, drama, update pages and bullshit. And now, articles take up very little of the disk space, meaning the primary thing Wikipedia was meant to do is now a minority of the sites data.
That or I'm out of the loop about "WP:AN/I Dramaboard" because I do not know what that is
Edit: it is where users are reported to the admins.
And mods will take it down because of rule 9
I assume from the humor tag this is not real data? Is there a legit version of this?
No dude this is real I saw it on Wikipedia
You can tell it's not real because there isn't a giant section related to asking for donations.
"We've interrupted you one time already to ask for help..."
Uh, try about 14 times.
I was actually slightly tempted to donate the first time, but when that wheedling lie kept popping up over and over, all temptation vanished.
2015: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Statistics/Wikipedia
What's that large section?
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents
It's the place where editors can report problematic users to the admins.
Where jonsing drama addicts go to pick up dirty needles out of the trash and off the ground to stick in the one working vein they can still find while wildly flailing on their keyboards.
