QRank is a ranking signal for [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/) entities.

It gets computed by aggregating page view statistics for Wikipedia, Wikitravel,

Wikibooks, Wikispecies and other Wikimedia projects.

For example, according to the QRank signal, the fictional character

[Pippi Longstocking](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6668)

ranks lower than [Harry Potter](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8337),

but still much higher than the obscure

[Äffle & Pferdle](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q252869).

| Entity                                                   | Label              |    QRank |

| -------------------------------------------------------: | :----------------- | --------:|

| [Q8337](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8337)             | Harry Potter       | 17602336 |

| [Q6668](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6668)             | Pippi Longstocking |  2470590 |

| [Q252869](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q252869)         | Äffle & Pferdle    |    24545 |

A ranking signal is useful when time or space are too limited

to handle everything. When **fixing data problems**, use QRank

for maximal impact of your work. In **cartography**,

use QRank to display important features more prominently; [this map of Swiss castles](https://castle-map.infs.ch/#46.82825,8.19305,8z) uses QRank to decide which castles deserve a large symbol.

For a **technical description** of the system, see the

[Design Document](doc/design.md). To **download ranking data**,

head over to [qrank.wmcloud.org](https://qrank.wmcloud.org/).
