The most viewed articles weekly are a regular feature, the yearly list has had its seventh entry, and again we have the most viewed article each day, though a manual search of the Toolforge's Pageviews. Along with the big stories (specially the war on Europe and sports, particularly the FIFA World Cup), deaths and cultural products of the year, the list also has entries regarding holidays, and whatever either receives a Google Doodle or a topic with an interesting hook on Reddit.
