WikiGacha rarities, from C to LR

The Q-Score, WikiRank's quality score

WikiGacha doesn't count readers: it reads the score WikiRank gives each article, from 0 to 100. It combines the article's length, references, images and sections, compared with the best articles in its language, and loses 5% for each template flagging a flaw (Lewoniewski et al., 2025). A long, sourced, illustrated article scores high; a stub, low.

Its scores date from February 2026: WikiRank may have changed its mind since, WikiGacha hasn't: an article improved since keeps its February score there.

The seven WikiGacha rarities

An LR takes a perfect score: there are only 8,162 in English and 635 in French. At the other end, commons and uncommons make up 78% of the English edition and 94% of the French one.

Pull odds

WikiGacha doesn't publish odds per rarity. Its rule book only says: 5 cards per pack, one more pack every minute up to 10, and after 10 packs opened, the next one guarantees an SR or better. Daily missions and ads give more. What is known is each rarity's share of the game:

That's not a drop rate: it would be one if every card were drawn at random from the whole edition, which WikiGacha doesn't say. The guaranteed pack every ten is already enough to give more SR-and-up than these shares. Its creator warned at launch that commons come out in surprising numbers (ITmedia, March 3, 2026, in Japanese).

The rates going around (0.5% LR, 2% UR…) come from a fan site, not the game: they don't fit its catalog, where LRs make up 0.12% of the English edition.

Attack and defense

A card's attack comes from its article's pageviews, its defense from the article's length, each multiplied by rarity and capped at 15,000. So rarity isn't everything: the French LR "Crimes de guerre en Pologne occupée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale", thorough but little read, has only 3,809 attack, while the SSR "Beauvais" has 9,098.

What a WikiGacha card is worth in Lexicodex

Lexicodex does the opposite: rarity follows readers, the median of the article's monthly views over twelve months. The same article can be an LR in one game and a common in the other:

Lexicodex tiers, for English Wikipedia:

• Mythic: over 150,000 views a month, about 1,400 articles (Taylor Swift, Napoleon, Minecraft…)
• Epic: over 48,000, about 10,200 articles
• Rare: over 15,600, about 41,900 articles
• Uncommon: over 9,300, about 42,600 articles
• Common: every other article above 200 views a month, about 1.8 million of them

When you import your backup, every English and French Wikipedia article becomes a card at its Lexicodex rarity: an LR won't necessarily land as mythic, a common may land as epic. How: save your WikiGacha progress.
