A comment on Six Degrees of Wikipedia.

The "wiki game" where two people click Random Page and try to get to each other's page via blue links only is one of my favorites.

Obviously we never got there optimally but very cool to see this visualized and created.

semi-related, I wonder if there are any new papers on how to optimally generate blue links on Wiki pages and how great linking can happen more auto-magically!

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I found an ongoing Wikimedia research project & preprint:
