It shows all Wikipedia articles on a zoomable map. The size of the labels depends on its pagerank score and the pageview statistics.

Wow this is surprisingly useful to explore local data, thanks for building!!
I wonder: why are you calculating PageRank, are the wiki article views not enough?
If I play around with the importance slider, PageRank seems to have much less difference between articles, highlighting just a few articles per city in large text.
Yes, the pageview statistics might be enough, but I started from the pagerank dataset https://github.com/athalhammer/danker
And because of bot traffic, the pageview statistics are sometimes suspicious and noisy.
Cool map but FYI most of the ones near me are just random buildings that don't even have Wikipedia articles.
Oh, yes. It also includes all Wikidata entries with geocoordinates, but they have the lowest "importance" and are only shown very small. You need to zoom out a bit to see places with articles.
Would it be possible to filter this to only show wikipedia objects?
If you open the menu, there are already some filters, but no filter to filter out Wikidata-only entries yet. Maybe I will add it.
