This is a very popular topic of research and I'm sure would be interesting to people researching this and would help people to find it.

I talked to Isaac Johnson about this today. Basically, we'd need to build a regularly-updated database of articles-by-wikiproject (by parsing the wikiproject template on the talkpage, say). Then we could list all wikiprojects associated with each article and/or create some bot that notified each wikiproject if an article within its scope exceeded some traffic parameter. But this is a lot of work, but I've captured the proposal here < https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Research_talk:Social_media_tra… for future reference. Thanks!
