Six Degrees of Wikipedia is a web application that traverses Wikipedia page links to find the shortest path between any two pages on the encyclopedia. It includes a hosted website plus tooling to download or generate the underlying link database and run your own server.
Use cases
- find the shortest path between two wikipedia pages
- play a wikiracing game connecting random articles
- analyze wikipedia link structure with a local database
- self-host a wikipedia path-finding website
- explore six degrees of separation on wikipedia
When to choose
- you want shortest-path searches across the live Wikipedia link graph
- you want to self-host or study the full Wikipedia links database
- you want a fun educational tool for exploring article connectivity
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose wiki API client rather than path finding
- you need real-time results without downloading a large database dump
- you need non-English Wikipedia support out of the box
