Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is one rank above Khan with 22.08 points.

The list was compiled by collecting data about the global leaders and celebrities online and from their Wikipedia pages.

Factors that were taken into account in compiling the rankings were number of links to other Wikipedia pages, number of external links, number of categories the person is in, total number of revisions to the page, number of unique individuals who have edited the page and number of anonymous edits.
