Trends MCP get_top_trends returned 50 articles (as_of 2026-08-11T06:01:35 UTC) for type Wikipedia Trending.

Top trending articles on Wikipedia: August 11

1. Roblox: The Roblox platform article takes #1 after earnings fallout that linked softer bookings, algorithm changes away from short-term monetization games, and a daily active user slide from a 152 million peak to about 123 million (PC Gamer/IGN, early August 2026). Trends MCP get_growth for Roblox on wikipedia showed about +239.33% over 30 days and volume up about +41.8% (382148 vs 269490) as of August 11, 2026.

2. Spider-Man: Brand New Day: Marvel and Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day cools from #1 on August 10 to #2 while remaining the year's top grosser near $1.672 billion worldwide as of August 9, including about $654.3 million domestic (Deadline/Box Office Mojo). Second-weekend and international $1 billion milestones keep the article near the podium.

3. The Odyssey (2026 film): Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey holds near the top at #3 after August 9 reports that the July 17 release passed about $1.1 billion worldwide and became Nolan's highest-grossing film ahead of The Dark Knight Rises (Deadline). Trends MCP get_growth for the title on wikipedia showed about +1308.45% over 30 days and volume up about +1060.14% as of August 11, 2026.

4. The Last House: Netflix's The Last House holds #4 after its August 7, 2026 premiere starring Greta Lee and Wagner Moura under director Louis Leterrier (Netflix Tudum/Wikipedia).

5. House of the Dragon season 3: The season-3 article enters at #5 after HBO's eight-episode run ended August 9, 2026, following a June 21 premiere (Deadline/Wikipedia). Finale-week lookups separate the season page from the series hub at #6.

6. House of the Dragon: The main House of the Dragon article enters at #6 beside season-3 finale traffic from the August 9 closer. No additional off-Wikipedia news trigger beyond the finale window was required to explain the dual listing.

7. Ben Jones (American actor and politician): Dukes of Hazzard actor and former Georgia congressman Ben Jones enters at #7 after dying August 9, 2026, at age 84 from a heart attack at his Virginia home (AP/NBC/THR).

9. Abdul El-Sayed: Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed slips from #4 on August 10 to #9 after his August 4 primary win over Haley Stevens by under 1 percentage point (AP/Free Press). The same name still ranks #3 on Google Trends the same morning.

10. Daniel Kinahan: Irish alleged crime boss Daniel Kinahan holds #10 after extradition from Dubai on August 9, 2026, and a Special Criminal Court charge of directing a criminal organization (Wikipedia/court reporting).

11. Zendaya: Zendaya cools from #5 on August 10 to #11 as Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey cast lookups persist without a new dated personal headline on August 11, 2026.

12. DC (film): The DC (film) article cools from #9 on August 10 to #12. No widely reported trigger identified for August 11, 2026 beyond residual film-cycle reading.

What changed on Wikipedia since yesterday

Compared with the August 10, 2026 Wikipedia daily post, Roblox vaults into #1 from outside the prior top 15, House of the Dragon season pages replace Perez Hilton and Michael Brennan inside the cut, and Ben Jones is the clearest obituary entrant while Spider-Man: Brand New Day yields the lead but stays at #2.

What today's Wikipedia trends reveal

Platform finance and tentpole film pages split the August 11 board. Roblox at #1 shows earnings coverage can outrank even a $1.672 billion Spider-Man run at #2, while The Odyssey at #3 keeps Nolan's $1.1 billion milestone in the top three.

House of the Dragon season 3 at #5 and the series hub at #6 track the August 9 finale, Ben Jones at #7 follows the August 9 death notice, and Daniel Kinahan at #10 continues August 9 extradition reading. Odd TLD stubs at #13 and #15 plus Neatsville at #14 look like short curiosity spikes.
