About WikiPicks
How the game works, and how to play it.
What is WikiPicks?
Every article on Wikipedia is a tradeable asset here. Its price is based on real, live traffic pulled from Wikipedia's own pageview data β not made up. Buy articles you think are undervalued or about to spike, earn credits every day from their real readership, and climb the leaderboard. Browsing is free and doesn't require an account β you only need to sign in when you want to buy, sell, predict, or watch something.
How an article is priced
Price = its average daily pageviews over the last 365 days, plus a bonus equal to its raw view total over the last 30 days β like valuing a business at its normal yearly run-rate plus a premium for a strong recent month. A page steady at 10 views/day costs roughly 10 + 300 = 310 points. Only human traffic counts; bot views are excluded.
Buying (claiming) an article
Ownership is exclusive β once someone claims an article, it's off the primary market for everyone else. The price you pay is deducted from your points immediately. Find articles to buy on the Market page, by searching, or on the Discover page.
Earning
Every real calendar day, each article you own pays you points equal to that day's actual view count. Earnings start the day after you buy. Wikipedia publishes pageview data with about a day's lag, so today's earnings show up tomorrow. Settlement is automatic β just open the app and everything owed gets credited, even if you were away for a while.
Selling: the secondary market
There's no instant sell-back to the market. The only way to give up an article is to list it for resale at any price you choose, and wait for another player to buy it. Every article currently for sale can be found on the Secondary Market tab of the Market page, or turns up naturally in search results and on the Discover page. The buyer's payment goes straight to you β a genuine peer-to-peer trade, not a market payout.
Discover
Not sure what to look for? The Discover page shuffles in random Wikipedia articles, lets you browse by topic (Science, History, Sports, and more), or search any category on Wikipedia directly β a way to explore without needing a specific article in mind.
Predictions
Instead of owning a page, stake points on whether its daily views (not price) will be higher or lower than they are right now. Payout scales with how right β or wrong β you turn out to be: call it correctly and get back more than you staked, get it wrong and get back less (never less than zero). A prediction resolves as soon as the real numbers for the day come in β often well before its displayed 24-hour estimate, since Wikipedia's publishing time doesn't line up exactly with a fixed clock.
Points & the leaderboard
Everyone starts with 5,000 points. Your net worth is your points balance plus the current value of everything you own β that's what the leaderboard ranks. The Points page tracks your balance, your earnings history, and progress toward a real $100 gift card milestone.
