Here's an incomplete list of links I like:

First versions of articles that are humorously incomplete:

Articles that have existed for a surprisingly long time or a surprisingly short time

  • The Balloon-Hoax article existed September 29, 2001, very early in the encyclopedia's history.
  • Biggest ball of twine has existed since 2005-04-28
  • I knew that early Wikipedia editors were (and kinda still are) academically-inclined hacker dudes, but it's crazy when you realize the article about mole day, created January 2002, is an entire year older than the article "hip hop music" and five years older than "fashion show"
  • there were months when wikipedia had an article about Mole Day (created January 2002), a fake holiday celebrated in chemistry class, but not Kolkata or hip hop music. Mole Day is five years older than fashion show!
  • Laid edges didn't exist until the end of 2023
