Wikipedia 'AI-Generated' Talk Page Link Language Drift

This page tracks how AI-generated hyperlinks in Wikipedia talk pages shift between languages, revealing patterns in linguistic drift within AI-assisted editing. It measures the percentage of links that point to a different language than the page’s primary language, as well as the median distance of these shifts (e.g., en→fr vs en→es). The data is drawn from publicly available Wikipedia talk page revisions where AI tools have been used to generate or modify references. By monitoring these shifts, we can observe how AI models influence language consistency in collaborative editing environments, highlighting potential inconsistencies in cross-lingual reference generation.
