Wikispooks is only very occasionally reported by commercially-controlled media.

2025

June

This month we were recommended by Ian Carroll in episode 191 of the Candice podcast (available here) resulting in a surge in traffic. This month was possibly the third busiest ever, with 81,504 unique visitors (105,577 visits).[1] Meanwhile, more tireless work by our editors has brought the proportion of stubs down to 31.5%, while the proportion of pages that now have a description is an all time high, at 68.5%.[2]

25 May

The site was down for some hours due to a technical glitch.

January

January was a particularly busy month, with 63,084 unique visitors. Page quality has been a continued priority with the proportion of stubs consistently decreasing, and descriptions increasing.[3]

2024

In April 2019, around 60% of pages were categorised as stubs (poor quality).[4] Tireless work by our editors has reduced this proportion although the number of pages has risen steadily. The proportion of stubs went below 50% in June 2021, 40% in May 2022 and in March 2024 it went below 1/3 for the first time. Just over 60% of our pages now have descriptions, up from around ⅓ in March 2021.

2 January

Sharing on Facebook about Andy Stewart, whom Maria Farmer termed the "holy grail" of the Epstein affair, who reportedly died suddenly in his sleep in 2020[5] broke the one day visit record, with 4,100 visitors to his page and 3,865 visits to the list of passengers on the Lolita Express, bringing the total number of visitors to 10,931.[6] The month later turned out to be one of the busiest ever, with 67,031 unique visitors.

2023

This year saw the rolling out of large language models to the public. The site received increasing traffic from bots crawling the machine-readable (semantic) data which has been accruing here since it was introduced in 2013.

2022

2022 was a busy year. February was the second busiest month in the site's history, with over 3,000 visits/day. The page count has climbed only slowly, as we've continued to focus on improving page quality rather than quantity, and the percentage of pages with descriptions surpassed 53%, while the proportion of stubs is now below 39%. The site's lists of WEF Young Global Leaders and WEF Global Leaders for Tomorrow were the most highly trafficked pages from January through July.

A record low bounce rate for the site in early May 2022

August

The site surpassed 30,000 pages.

May

A busy month after the Malone Institute linked in the site as a source for its lists of WEF Global Leaders for Tomorrow and WEF Young Global Leaders.

March

As awareness of the role of the Bilderbergers and WEF in COVID-19 has grown, so has traffic to the WEF/GLT and WEF/YGL pages. The site had 112,267 visits this month, the second busiest month ever, behind May 2020.

28 February

Widespread sharing of a links on telegram, especially to WEF/Global Leaders for Tomorrow 1993, lead to the busiest ever day from Germany, with a total of 1,155 visits from that country (20%). It also meant that February 2022, with a grand total of 99,298 visits, was the busiest month since July 2020, and the 4th busiest to date.

21 February

A fix to Template:Concept pushed the proportion of pages without descriptions below 50% for the first time ever, down from 55% at the start of the year. The average visit length so far this year is 260s, up from 203s last year.

January

Search traffic on 25 January 2022

The site had a busy month in January; both the number of visitors and the length of visits continues to rise. Average visit length in 2021 was 203 seconds, a 50% increase over 2020, and visit length continued its upward trajectory in 2022.

Consensus trance“Nine tenths of the news, as printed in the newspapers, is pseudo-news. Some days ten tenths. The ritual morning trance in which one scans columns of newsprint creates a peculiar form of generalised pseudo-attention to pseudo-reality... My own experience has been that renunciation of this self-hypnosis, of this particiption in this trance is not a sacrifice of reality.”Thomas Merton1968
