WikiWrangler+
WikiWrangler helps surface changes in attention to specific words across all of Wikipedia. Here's what you can do right now:
- View the terms that have changed the most between two points in time using a rank-turbulence divergence metric
- Search for a term to see a timeseries of its page-weighted frequency over time
- See the top contributing articles to that term's frequency on Wikipedia

This bar chart shows something called the rank-turbulence divergence for different terms. When we say a word "changed" we mean its rank in the frequency distribution has shifted significantly. So if a term's frequency across all of Wikipedia was ranked 500, and then it jumped to 100, that would be a significant change. In contrast, common terms such as "the" or "was" will consistently appear at high ranks.
