considering number of times a property is used:i think that would be really interesting. Unfortunately, i don't know of a way to easily get a count of how many times a property is used.
Is this sill an issue or did a usable method come up later on in this thread?
Anyway, as an approximation, this can be taken from the weekly dumps. My filter writes (amongst other this) a TSV file of these. Last week's top three were:
<pre> -[ RECORD 2127 ]---------------------- prop | P21 def_cnt | 1 use_cnt | 2866032 datatype | wikibase-item label_en | sex or gender descr_en | Sexual identity of subject. Main: male (Q6581097), female (Q6581072), transgender female (Q1052281), transgender male (Q2449503). For animals, use male animal (Q44148), female animal (Q43445). For groups of same gender, use "subclass of" (P279) -[ RECORD 2128 ]---------------------- prop | P17 def_cnt | 1 use_cnt | 4055618 datatype | wikibase-item label_en | country descr_en | sovereign state of this item -[ RECORD 2129 ]---------------------- prop | P31 def_cnt | 1 use_cnt | 15152571 datatype | wikibase-item label_en | instance of descr_en | this item is a specific example and a member of that class. Not to be confused with Property:P279 (subclass of). </pre>
