Bit of #wikidata fun today: pairs of people who both have an English #Wikipedia article and are married to one another. Represents ~4% of English WP biographies. https://w.wiki/6PuL
A bit of experimenting with sitelinks: of mixed-gender married couples where both have enwiki articles, the men average 3.3x as many sitelinks as the women (median 1.5x), but there is quite a wide distribution - around 1/3 of women have more sitelinks than their husbands.
@generalising great query! 🙂 maybe it has slightly to do with the fact that those couples are very popular at all?
@librerli the odd thing is that most couples seem to be of quite different levels of popularity (per pageviews), so you would expect that maybe they would tend to have one article created before the other? Might be interesting to drill down to whether they're the same pairs on different wikis...
@generalising this is great! I found 1.309 cases in Basque Wikipedia: https://w.wiki/6Q7m
@theklan interesting - another with the same proportion! Looks like about 4.5% of Basque bios have an article for the spouse.
@generalising is quite regular with nobility people, as I see it.
The oddity is that this value seems to be pretty common across projects - Portuguese is up to 5% and German down to 3.5%, but Finnish, English, Hindi, Japanese are all around 4%. No idea what that might indicate, but interesting to note.
