There is a popular hypothesis, known as ''[[six degrees of separation]]'', holding that any two people are separated by a chain of no more than six acquaintances. Studying the characters of [[Wikipedia]] to see whether something similar obtains among its articles, Six Degrees of Wikipedia aims to be a compendium of the following things:
* The items separated by the ''longest'' minimal chains in the encyclopedia (especially where these are more than four links long). The shortest known chain between the two items should be specified. Generalisation over time, where possible, seems to produce the shortest chains. Failing this, try generalisation over space to reduce chain length.{{clarify|date=September 2010}}
* The most intuitively remote items separated by ''short'' chains—chains of fewer than six articles, anyway.  That is, these should be items that have no obvious connection but which, nonetheless, can be linked between very quickly in Wikipedia. This is a much more subjective category, but should still be interesting; it may be enough to describe these as "interestingly" or "oddly" short chains.
* Chains between two articles selected at random (using [[Special:Randompage]]). Since these can often be uninteresting, think twice about actually adding these to this page.
* Articles that can be proven to have no chain between one another. This is the search for the potential outlier that could prove the hypothesis at least capable of being in a state of "incorrect". Intuition suggests that there shouldn't be any, but that is in fact why we need to search for it/them.

==Rules==

We will accept only links between actual articles, '''not''' "Talk" pages. (If this approach still allows many uninteresting connections, it might be worth restricting it in further ways, such as disallowing articles on years or decades completely, or any other type of article that might be considered "too general". For now, though, we will not worry about these.)

Be sure to specify the direction the chain runs in by using, for example, the right-arrow character (→), which can be found below the "edit window" when editing pages. If you cannot use the arrow character, you can just use the word "to".

Using date-to-date links (e.g., [[1996]] → [[1993]]) is "uninteresting" and should be avoided. Similarly, using country-to-country links (e.g., [[Japan]] → [[China]]) is uninteresting and should be avoided as well.

Tampering with articles for the sole reason of changing their degrees of separation is discouraged for the purposes of this project; we aim to clarify how Wikipedia is as it evolves, not to set forth that it should be more or less so.  That being said, if this page brings to your attention a "missing link" that really should be in an article, feel free to correct it (and make the corresponding change to this page, as well).<!--
Minimal paths between articles, based on a particular snapshot of the Wikipedia database, can be found using Stephen Dolan's [http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/wiki/ Six Degrees of Wikipedia] page.
--><!--Hmm... doesn't seem to work-->

==Other versions==

Software engineer Jacob Wenger created [https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/ a tool of the same name] that attempts to procedurally find the shortest number of links between any two Wikipedia articles the user provides.

Popular score-based versions of this game include [https://www.thewikigame.com The Wiki Game] and [https://wikispeedrun.org/ Wiki Speedrun].

[https://www.thewikigame.com The Wiki Game] is a real-time and multi-player version. It contains different game-type challenges that include random start and end goals.

[https://wikispeedrun.org/ Wiki Speedrun] is single-player focused and places additional emphasis on the speed at which the player gets from one article to another. It uses a precise speedrun timer that pauses during page load to make final times as competitive as possible.

== Surprisingly long reverse path ==

*Whereas [[Bog]] to [[Toilet]] is two steps, [[Toilet]] to [[Bog]] is 4 steps.
** [[Toilet]] → [[California]] → [[River]] → [[Bog]]

* [[Bar]] → [[Foo]] is only one step. However, [[Foo]] → [[Metasyntactic variable]] → [[Hebrew language]] → [[Shtetl]] → [[Bar]] is four steps.
**[[Bar]] no longer links directly to [[Foo]]. Shortest path: [[Bar]] → [[Bar (computer science)]] → [[Foo]] (two steps).

* Interesting symmetry here:
** [[Here]] → [[There]] (1)
** [[Here]] → [[There]] → [[There (internet service)]] (2)
** [[There]] → [[Pronoun]] → [[Linguistics]] → [[Australia]] → [[Indian Ocean]] → [[Here]] (5)

*** Incidentally, the last link ([[Indian Ocean]] → [[Here]]) for these two has vanished, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_Ocean&oldid=45018230#Data it was amusing].

* [[Mykhailo Haivoronsky]] → [[Biography]] → [[United Kingdom]] → [[Liverpool F.C.]] → [[Liverpool F.C. statistics]] → [[David Raven (footballer)]] is 5 steps, but there is no return path.

*[[Abdullah Al-Qasemi]] → [[Atheism]] → [[Bertrand Russell]] → [[Fabian Society]] → [[Disambiguation]] is 4, but the reverse is over 10.
**[[Abdullah Al-Qasemi]] is an orphan, it's only link is from here.  Therefore, there is no path.  [[User:Oren0|Oren0]] 19:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

*[[Soyuz TMA-22]] → [[Twitter]] is 1, but I don't think there is a return path (or a very long one).
**One path, as of November 2011, is [[Twitter]] → [[United States Department of Justice]] → [[United States federal executive departments]] → [[United States Department of Defense]] → [[United States Department of the Air Force]] → [[United States Air Force]] → [[Vandenberg Air Force Base]] → [[Space Shuttle]] → [[Human spaceflight]] → [[Soyuz (spacecraft)]] → [[Soyuz TMA-22]] (10), <small>That is, ignoring the Twitter link in the External links section</small>
***[[Soyuz (spacecraft)]] no longer links directly to [[Soyuz TMA-22]]. The shortest path, as of January 2020, is [[Twitter]] → [[International Space Station]] → [[Soyuz (spacecraft)]] → [[Soyuz (rocket family)]] → [[Soyuz TMA]] → [[Soyuz TMA-22]]

*[[Wales]] → [[Wales (disambiguation)]] → [[Jimmy Wales]] is two steps, while [[Jimmy Wales]] → [[English Wikipedia]] → [[English Language]] → [[United Kingdom]] → [[Wales]] is four steps. <!-- [[Jimmy Wales]] → [[England]] → [[United Kingdom]] → [[Wales]]  3 steps -->

*[[Easy]] → [[Simple]], but [[Simple]] → [[Simple Kid]] → [[Alternative rock]] → [[Californication (album)]] → [[Easily]] → [[Easy]]

*[[Antiferroelectricity]] → [[Checkerboard]] is 1.
**One path (as of Dec 2017) is [[Checkerboard]] → [[Taxicab]] → [[Car]] → [[Electric car]] → [[Electric motor]] → [[Electrical energy]] → [[Electric potential energy]] → [[Electricity]] → [[Antiferroelectricity]] (9 pages, 8 links) ... probably could be shorter [[User:Ev3commander|Ev3commander]] ([[User talk:Ev3commander|talk]]) 23:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

*Perhaps more surprising for the number of possible paths: [[Artemisia Gallery]] → [[The Doomsday Machine (Star Trek: The Original Series)]] is 4 steps, with 3 possible paths. (One is [[Artemisia Gallery]] → [[Phyllis Bramson]] → [[Smithsonian Institution]] → [[Star Trek: The Original Series]] → [[The Doomsday Machine (Star Trek: The Original Series)]]. The reverse path, however, is 5 steps with ''591 possible paths'': One example is [[The Doomsday Machine (Star Trek: The Original Series)]] → [[CBS]] → [[Low culture]] → [[Cultural artifact]] → [[Artist-run space]] → [[Artemisia Gallery]].

==Six Degrees ''to'' Kevin Bacon==
Rules: (1) The destination is [[Kevin Bacon]], in precisely six links; the more obscure, the better. (2) No, but no, film- or acting-related links are allowed. I'm starting off with:
* ''[[Poor Man's Bible]]'' → [[Acid rain]] → [[John Evelyn]] → [[Bubble and squeak]] → [[Belgium]] → [[Afterlife]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
Afterlife no longer links to Kevin Bacon
* [[Morphine]] → [[Botany]] → [[Binomial nomenclature]] → [[Clade]] → [[Smallpox]] → [[Philadelphia]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
Philadelphia now has a separate page for notable persons so this is now seven degrees.
* [[Composite bow]] → [[Ancient Egypt]] → [[Government]] → [[Aerospace]] → [[Light fixture]] → [[Internet meme]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
* [[Climate change]] → [[Greenland Ice Sheet]] → [[Mars]] → [[Electric vehicle]] → [[World Bank]] → [[Gulf War]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
* [[Cockroach]] → [[North America]] → [[List of regions of the United States]] → [[Mid-Atlantic (United States)]] → [[Pennsylvania]] → [[List of people from Pennsylvania]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
* [[Adolf Hitler]] → [[Academy of Fine Arts Vienna]] → [[University of Music and Performing Arts Graz]] → [[Darius Milhaud]] → [[Budapest Quartet]] → [[Settlement Music School]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] → [[Doppelganger]] → [[Spontaneous Human Combustion]] → [[Reincarnation]] → [[Index of Jainism-related articles]] → [[Wikipedia:Six_degrees_of_Wikipedia]] → [[Kevin Bacon]]
