The extent to which these charts reflect anything that could
meaningfully be called "popularity" is questionable. Remember that
this chart is a ranking of raw page hits data. I strongly suspect a
lot of the porn stuff was from search engine hits, for example, and
would have disappointed the eventual reader.

I'm not sure how we'd measure people looking up stuff on Wikipedia
specifically. That would reflect popularity of an article within
Wikipedia.

That said, hell yeah - make [[Wiki]] a feature!
