About this data
This page explores the geographic diversity of the templates used within Wikipedia's extensive 'List of...' articles. We've analysed the origin country of each template to understand where the building blocks for these foundational lists come from.
By looking at the median percentage of templates attributed to each country and the total number of unique countries contributing, we offer a novel perspective on Wikipedia's content curation. This granular analysis can reveal regional influences and different approaches to structuring information across the globe. It's a unique insight into the collaborative, international nature of Wikipedia's encyclopaedic efforts.
The data is derived from the templates themselves, attributing them to the country of their primary development or maintenance. This offers a unique view into the global ecosystem of knowledge organisation on Wikipedia.
