What happens when you follow the first link on wikipedia pages to its end? I tried to find out and regretted the resulting headache.

I had to cut out a lot of details due to time/pacing but if there is something that interested you in terms of how I gathered data or whatever, feel free to ask.

The wikipedia first link network featured in the video is on github:
