About this data

This page monitors the average and variation in the URL depth of links found within Wikipedia's 'List of...' infoboxes. URL depth refers to how many sub-pages a link travels through to reach its destination on an external website.

These measurements act as an indicator of how stable external references are for these specific Wikipedia pages. An increasing URL depth over time could suggest a tendency for external websites to undergo structural changes, making those links more susceptible to 'link rot'.

This granular tracking offers a novel perspective on the longevity and reliability of the references used by Wikipedia, providing insights into the dynamic nature of external web content.
