Apologies for the brief and combined reply but I'm on mobile. Will try and answer the DBpedia-related comments.

DBpedia provides out degree metrics ( number of outgoing links from an article) and article size (in wikitext chars)  directly through related extractors that can be used for ranking.  In-degree is easy to calculate from the DBpedia dumps but iirc we did not include it in the last releases (not sure why). Also in-degree is not provided in DBpedia-Live but the other metrics are.

These metrics are nice but fail in some cases iirc years are heavily linked but articles about a year e.g. 2000 is not so important.

I agree that a page rank metric would be the most appropriate in this case. We have pagerank metrics iirc for en, de, nl and we are preparing a Wikidata-based pagerank that will be presented in the DBpedia meeting in Leipzig next month.

Best,
Dimitris

Jane, now we are really going into the field of elastic search's relevancy calculation. When searching, things like popularity (pageviews), incoming links, number of different language wiki articles, article size, article quality (good/selected), and many other aspects could be used to better the results. I wish these were available together with the WDQS results, possibly as a number similar to Google's "page rank".

Too bad, because it would be great for all sorts of project workflows!

Don't think so and I don't think such data should be in Wikidata or WDQS
database - it's Wikipedia administrative data and should be there.

External service can combine data from these sources but I don't think
it falls under WDQS tasks.
