About this data
This page tracks changes in the uniqueness of table headers found in Wikipedia's list articles. We measure the median ratio of unique headers and the standard deviation of this ratio over time.
These numbers come from an analysis of Wikipedia's historical data. Specifically, we examine every table within list articles to see how often a header's text appears in multiple columns within the same table, or across different tables on the same page.
Understanding how table header uniqueness changes can reveal subtle shifts in how data is structured and presented on Wikipedia. These shifts are often too complex to be easily noticed or documented elsewhere, offering a unique insight into the evolution of information on the platform.
