What today's Wikipedia trends reveal
White House personnel overtook the Mitte obituary, and the supporting Breaking Bad pages (the Moncada brothers) left with Steinfeld and Mevis. Mathematics and List of equations returned as a crawler pair, which is a different traffic pattern from the news rows. VisionQuest and DWTS season 35 are premiere and elimination spikes, not holdovers. Selma Blair's 7-slot drop is the largest fall on the board. The data-source page is Wikipedia trending API.
