are trying to rebuild our stale encyclopedia apps for offline usage but are space-limited and would only like to include the most likely pages that would be looked at that can fit within a size envelope >that varies with the device in question (up to 100k article limit probably) For this use case I would be careful to look at page ranks as true popularity as the top data is affected by bot spikes regularly (that is a known issue that we intend to fix). After you have your list of most popular pages please take a second look, some -but not all- of the pages that are artificially high due to bot traffic are pretty obvious (many special pages).
