An interactive map of geotagged Wikimedia Commons photos, with place rankings combining photographer activity and Wikipedia pageviews.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: People exploring where places are photographed
Worth noticing: Its ranking blends Commons activity and Wikipedia views, caps pageview influence at three quarters, and gives some place categories a lower weight.

Field notes

The ranking counts distinct photographers rather than raw uploads, and estimates Wikipedia interest from twelve median months of pageviews to reduce the effect of short-lived news spikes. Geograph imports—one photo per square kilometre across Britain and Ireland—are excluded for now. The example data is labeled Poland, with dumps dated 1 October 2026.
