A directed graph approach

Wikipedia,
one node
at a time.

Explore the Wikipedia you know and love, but this time, as a directed graph.

The WikiMapping approach

Get to know the building blocks of the map.

Pages become nodes

Each circle represents a Wikipedia page. Select one in the graph to see its name, size, and connected pages.

Links show relationships

Parents link to a page. Children are the pages they link to. Follow either direction to explore its neighborhood.

Order is created

By simulating each node as a particle, pulled to parents and children, and repelled from others, the ForceAtlas2 algorithm spreads the graph into a stable equilibrium.
