How Y2DAY ranks

Topics are ranked by how unusual their attention is relative to their own normal behavior — not by raw popularity. A quiet article that suddenly draws a crowd outranks a famous one that’s merely busy as always. Volume safeguards keep tiny pages from dominating on noise.

Discovery and ranking use Wikipedia and Wikimedia’s public attention data — and nothing else. Verified, relevant public sources may establish what happened, but their popularity never influences what ranks. Y2DAY never invents a reason when the record doesn’t support one.
