Question PopularityPopularity is a simple system we use at WikiAnswers to determine the relative value of a question to WikiAnswers visitors. When someone clicks to recommend a question, its popularity number goes up by one. Underneath each question, you can see "Question: popularity" followed by a number. These are the rankings that allow a user to vote on the importance of questions.It's your opinion on whether you think other contributors and visitors will be interested in a given question. The questions with the most "popularity" votes go to the top of the category page. It's how questions become Frequently Asked Questions.
