I've always felt that Top 10 lists weren't a good idea for web sites because they tend to self-preserve themselves. Everyone reads the top 10 sites so those sites get the most hits and end up staying on top 10... $0.02.

I find it a bit disturbing that
RecentChanges and the five or so newest pages seem to be on
TopTen continuously.

I think the last 2,000 hits is too small of a sample. None of the real pages have more than 20 hits. Maybe 10,000 would yield more interesting results? --

I'd like to know the time period for which the log is sampled. There is a starting time given at the beginning of the page, but what kind of time is this: universal or local, and if local, then which zone?
Why not reveal the
bottom ten, as measured over a long period? Might indicate what needs some dusting off. --

Or better yet, the
oldest ten, measured by the last time they were { edited | read }. (See
AncientChanges.)
Having a list of the
BottomTen pages would be a great feature. While a
TopTen is self-preserving (not just on websites, either - how about
PopCharts?), a
BottomTen would be changing constantly, since people would be checking out the
BottomTen, thus removing them from the list. --

I like this idea, but for a possibly different reason. A list of all
WikiPages sorted from least recently edited at the top would be an interesting view of "core" Wiki.
