329:"In this thesis, we have computationally analysed the language used in Knowledge in order to find similarities between the language used in different articles. To do so, we have syntactically parsed articles of Knowledge in different languages using UDPipe 2.0 and gathered the languagesā recurrent syntactic patterns using Grammatical Frameworkās GF-UD. Then, we have compared the analyses with cosine similarity in two ways: based on dependency relations and based on linguistic patterns. We have seen that there is a basis for the Abstract Knowledge project: there are syntactic similarities not only within one language, but also within multiple languages. In addition, we have found that semantically-related topics have a higher similarity than those which are not. Finally, we have gathered syntactic patterns of every language and compared them, which can constitute the basis of the creation of the Renderers for

platform's incentives. Then, adding the
Contributors data, we discuss the three-dimensional model (more precise than the three-dimensional VAR). It provides a more accurate short-term prediction of Edits than the two-dimensional dynamic model. The global picture shows that the number of new Edits tends to decline in the future, while the number of new Contributors and Readers will grow in the long run. This can probably be explained by the fact that many of the subjects, in which Readers are interested, have already been contributed to the Knowledge platform, and there is no demand for the new Edits. However, the Contributors will continue to correct some articles, and the Readers will be visiting the platform for the references.
299:"... how much money external-website owners would have to pay in order to obtain an equivalent number of clicks by other means, such as paid ads. In this spirit, we applied the Google Ads API to the content of official websites linked from Knowledge in order to generate key words for sponsored search and estimated their cost per click at market price. We conclude that the owners of external websites linked from English Knowledgeās infoboxes would need to collectively pay a total of around $ 7ā13 million per month (or $ 84ā156 million per year) for sponsored search in order to obtain the same volume of traffic that they receive from Knowledge for free."
284:"Knowledge frequently serves as a stepping stone between search engines and third-party websites. We captured this effect quantitatively as well as in a manual analysis, where we found that URLs that are down-ranked or censored by search engines, and thus not retrievable via search, can often be found in Knowledge infoboxes, which leads search users to take a detour via Knowledge. We conclude that Knowledge regularly and systematically meets information needs that search engines do not meet, which further confirms Knowledgeās central role in the Web ecosystem."

Similar effects were observed for society (a loose mix of articles), sports, software, and entertainment, among others. On the contrary, we observed that geographical, biography, and television, among others, were particularly under-represented among the highest-CTR official links."

216:"During the period considered, Knowledge had 5.3M articles that contained at least one of 63.1M external links (totaling 49.8M unique target URLs). In total, 35.3M (56.0%) of these links appeared in references, 24.9M (39.5%) in article bodies, and 2.8M (4.5%) in infoboxes. Around 1.3M articles in English Knowledge had an infobox with links, and the average number of links per infobox in these articles was 2.08."

392:, we obtain a high precision prediction. Moreover, the dynamical system approach provides the global qualitative picture of the model's phase portrait, and allows us to discuss multidimensional patterns and long-term properties of the process. The simple limiting behavior allows us to associate different trends with different process's realization scenarios that can be influenced by externalities.

The paper argues Knowledge can usefully be analysed as a heterotopia because it exposes the contentious conditions of knowledge production, which is not standard practice for an encyclopaedia."

I wonder if it changes when an archived page from the

As was commented in the article, the split was "Infoboxes","References", "Other" (also called main body). As such, two EL, one in the lede or in a section outside of a reference and one properly in an EL section would be viewed identically. I would *love* to see the analysis done with an EL section

The short click time of infobox links, however, seems to be due to their prominent position within articles: when approximately controlling for position by considering only article-body links in the top 20% of the page, the median click time dropped to 22.2 seconds, only 10% longer than for infobox
232:
The researchers proceeded to analyze the CTR of these official infobox links in more detail, finding that it is "correlated strongly and negatively" with an article's length and popularity (number of pageviews), "possibly because longer articles, by offering more information, reduce the userās need

We demonstrate these ideas using the examples of the

Yes - such a frustrating oversight! I have to say though, I'm actually surprised that the overall dolar value came out so low (basically negligeable when spread across so many potential target organisations). I suppose it's actually good news, since it discourages manipulation by companies.
248:"The global median click time was 32.9 seconds (31.8 seconds for desktop, 34.4 seconds for mobile), with a much lower value for infobox links (18.7 seconds; 20.1 seconds for official links), and larger values for the article-body links (35.4 seconds) and reference links (51.8 seconds)."

Again analyzing by article topic, the researchers found that "clicks on official links to entertainment-related websites occurred faster, whereas links to websites on more classic encyclopedic topics, such as biographies, geographical content, history, etc., occurred more slowly."

Focusing on infobox links, the authors train a classifier to distinguish "official" links, defined as "the official website of the entity described in the respective article", which made up 0.8% of the 63.1 million links studied and had an even higher CTR (2.47%).
