Wikipedia has released a list of its most-edited pages this year, with an article detailing the year’s notable deaths topping the list.

The other most-edited pages were related to US elections while five articles were revised more than 5,000 times.

Meanwhile, a monthly breakdown showed the Panama Papers investigation topped edits in April and the Nice attack in July.

Here are the top six pages edited most of the times this year.

United States President-elect Donald Trump was the second most-edited page, amended at least 9,000 times.
