This makes the “How many clicks to Hitler” game much faster.
For those uninitiated, the game was to click the “Random Article” link in the sidebar and count how many links it took to get to Hitler. It is really interesting to see just how big of an event WWII was. Every country article has a section on their involvement or why they were not involved.
After playing with it more, this is pretty fun. I vote that a “degrees from Hitler” score be added to the top of every article. I think it might be an interesting proxy for how esoteric a particular page is.
