Here's a list of the 10 most-visited Wikipedia pages in 2012. The data comes via Johan Gunnarsson, a Swedish computer science student at the Lund Institute of Technology in Lund Sweden.

1) Facebook-32,647,942 views

Why Facebook? We can only imagine the social network's top spot comes thanks to the bumbling of Internet novices who, in their attempts to reach the massively popular site, type "Facebook" directly into the address bar (sans ".com"). Either that, or the world is very curious to learn what exactly a "Facebook" is.

2) Wiki-29,613,759

As above, this is probably thanks to a truncated Web address typed into Google-or to put it another way, 30 million people forgot to add the "pedia" to their "wiki."

3) Deaths in 2012-25,418,587

An end-of-year list to satisfy the morbid curiosity in all of us.

4) One Direction-22,351,637

The English boy band rules the charts-and the English-language Wikipedia, apparently. Perhaps the group's Wikipedia page is so popular thanks to confused parents, taking to Google to educate themselves about their tweens' latest obsession.

5) The Avengers (2012 film)-22,268,644

The Avengers, crushed its competition at the box office this year, grossing well over $620 million. Now the film's producers can add another accomplishment to their list: "No. 5 on Wikipedia."

6) Fifty Shades of Grey-21,779,423

The Wikipedia about the mommy porn phenomenon features writing that is far superior  to the book. In fact, save your sanity and forget about the book entirely. Just read the plot summary here.

7) 2012 phenomenon-20,619,920

The world didn't end in 2012, but you can go ahead and feel despair for the future of humanity. One of the most absurd cultural phenomenons ever was the seventh most-popular article on the eight most popular website in the world.

8) The Dark Knight Rises-18,882,885

Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion to the Dark Knight series came in second this year at the box office, grossing nearly half a billion dollars. It's the second most-popular movie on Wikipedia, too.

9) Google-18,508,719

What happens when you google Google? Wikipedia, apparently.

10) The Hunger Games-18,431,626

The Hunger Games closes out the trifecta of big-name Hollywood movies that dominated on Wikipedia this year. Though this page is actually for the book series-and not the film-we can only imagine that the page's popularity has something to do with the film's nearly $410 million box office gross.
