Methodology

How this list is measured.

Counts come from Wikimedia’s complete monthly pageview export for human users, covering August 2026. Desktop, mobile web and mobile app views are added together for each article in the main English Wikipedia namespace, matched by page ID so renamed articles keep their totals. Views of redirect pages are not included. The Main Page is left out because it is the site’s front door rather than a subject people look up.

The list is shown as measured. A few entries can reflect unusual or automated traffic that the human-user filter did not catch, such as sudden spikes on short or obscure titles. Views measure attention, not importance, and a link to each article’s source revision lets you check what people were reading.

From views to rarity

Popularity sets every card’s rarity.

WikiCollector uses the same monthly counts for all 7,235,024 cards. Articles with at least 100,000 views are Legendary, and most articles are Common, with fewer than 250. When a new month is measured, the ranking on this page updates with it. See rarity and drop rates for every tier.
