How does one Wikipedia page lead to another?
Name two pages. Iris follows their links through live Wikipedia, from both ends at once, and draws the route it finds.
How it works
- Search
- A breadth-first search walks forward from the start page and backward from the end page through backlinks, until the two frontiers meet.
- Watch
- Each side shows the pages it is reading and how deep it has gone; the readings count pages explored and the frontier still queued.
- Explore
- Each step quotes the sentence that links it to the next. Drag the graph, open any step on Wikipedia, or copy a link to the route.
- Limits
- English Wikipedia only. The route is the first one found, not a proven shortest, and depth is capped.
