I just realized what my confusion was over!

https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/?source=Carnegie%20Mel...

I was looking at the results of going from CMU to my little secondary school in Dublin, Ireland. I saw the results and saw that the last page before my Irish school was "College" and assumed it must be wrong, because how could my tiny secondary school be on the Wikipedia page for "College"? But alas, I was wrong!! I just checked and turns out it IS on the college wiki page!

I also assumed you were looking at outgoing links for both X and Y - that explains a lot.

I am super interested in this, but I have never done any graph theory or searching/planning (I'm EE) - how did you build up all of the incoming links for each wiki page? Are you storing all of this? How much data is that? Thanks for the reply!

Check out an earlier comment I made[1] which has some information about this. It also includes links to the relevant code, which is all open source.
