Hi all,

Last week I wrapped up a research project which investigates the 100 most frequent article section headings in the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish Wikipedias.

Below are the top 10 English section headings, along with the number of English articles each heading appears in at least once, and the total percentage of all English articles it appears in. For more information (including a comparison with frequently used section titles in other languages and a link to the full dataset consisting of all section headings from all articles) and documentation, see the meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Investigate_frequency_of_section_titles_in_5_large_Wikipedias .
