Top domains used in external links (enwiki, main namespace, 0-9a) v1

This query shows domains used in external links from the main namespace of English Wikipedia, along with a count of how many links they appear in, as well as the number of articles containing, at least, one link to the domain.

Domains are simplified to the main domain:
* news.bbc.com -> bbc.com
* news.bbc.co.uk -> bbc.co.uk
* www.dover.nj.us -> dover.nj.us

Top 1000 are shown, according to number of articles containing links to the domain.
