Wikirage is a website that provides an overview of the most heavily edited articles on Wikipedia. [1] It allows viewers to track the top 100 articles which were edited within the last hour, day, week, or month. [2] The creation of Wikirage coincides with the English Wikipedia reaching 2 million articles, WikiScanner getting mainstream publicity, and a shift in the thinking about whether or not anonymous users should be allowed to edit Wikipedia articles.
