The record so far is no connection at all, imo.

theres actually a fair number of them that "cannot be connected".
in fact, if the number of connections >10, the program will stop looking. so really all you have to do is pick any two obscure articles with few connections... and by obscure i mean, if you can think of it, it's not obscure enough.

This Six Degrees thing is probably a good tool for determining what articles need better category pages. Surely it's a flaw that you have to click through 70 pages to get to the end of the asteroid lists.

Even if there's a category page that lists all the category pages, it needs condensing.

There's actually a simple way of fixing that asteroids thing, which is just making a table with each of the article names.

I think the reason there are 70 different pages is to avoid an enormous table.
It seems like the huge-ass table would be better than a ton of unlinked pages, but maybe there's another reason.

Or maybe it's that no one cares about a table of asteroids on a community driven site.
