<ul>
<li>
<blockquote>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Links:</strong></span> the number of articles linking to an article, suggesting the relative importance for explaining other topics. You can find this data from: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:What_links_here" target="[object Object]">Special:What Links Here</a> and the <a href="https://linkcount.toolforge.org/" target="[object Object]">Link Count Tool</a></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Interwiki Links:</strong> </span>The number of articles about the topic in other language Wikipedias and other WikiProjects (suggesting that multiple other users found the topic important). You can find this data using Wikidata (explained later in this section).</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Reader Journeys:</strong></span> A substantial portion of readers stay on the wikis for a long time, after they arrive because of a search. These user journeys can be 5, 6, or even 10 or 15 clicks <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Characterizing_Readers_Navigation/Characterizing_the_structure_of_navigation_pathways#Navigation_sequences" target="_blank">into their on-site journey</a>. For the Sustainability and Climate topic area: this kind of navigation traffic often, in non-trending pages, corresponds to as much as half of pageviews. The WikiNav tool can help you find these linked topics connections: <a href="https://wikinav.toolforge.org/" target="[object Object]">https://wikinav.toolforge.org/</a></li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Editor interactions:</strong> </span>The number of editors engaged on a page, may signal that the topic is controversial or of repeated public attention. This can be evaluated for each Wikipedia page using XTools:<a href="https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo" target="[object Object]"> https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo</a> .

</ul>
<p>Each of these internal-to-the wiki signals tells you that there is an engaged, or passionate set of participants in the knowledge. Depending on your goals as a Topics for Impact Organizer, you may want to prioritize content based on one of these signals.</p>" |
