What today's Wikipedia board reveals
Entertainment pages reclaimed the ten after a one-day sports spike. All In leaving rank 3 is AEW's Wembley card aging out. Toxic at 1 is still a theatrical run. Whisper Man, Spider-Man, Coyote vs. Acme, and new Lanterns at 8 are film and TV pages sharing the same late-August release window. The Wikipedia Trending API board is no longer carrying Tim Curry as a named obituary slot.
Two non-film pages are doing different jobs. .xyz at 4 is infrastructure curiosity (10 million registrations, 251,462 views on August 29), not a celebrity death. Killing of the Clancy children at 3 is a live court watch that also sits at Google Trends rank 6. Deaths in 2026 climbing to 5 is the index catching the Dolly/Curry/Cullen week after the individual Tim Curry article drops off.
