What determines a "path"?

"Philosophy" is connected to "Ethiopia" through "Sexism", but I couldn't find that phrase on either page.

From the project description [1]:

Wikipedia dumps raw database tables in a gzipped SQL format for the English language Wikipedia (enwiki) approximately once a month (e.g. dump from February 1, 2018)...By default, the script grabs the latest dump (available at https://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/enwiki/latest/), but you can also call the database creation script with a download date in the format YYYYMMDD as the first argument.

I'd guess the tool is working off an out of date article.

Same, New Zealand to Faroe Islands through Italy.

Maybe both New Zealand and the Faroes reference Italy?

[stickydink]

At the bottom of the page for each of the countries "Articles related to Italy" is a huge expandable section, with even more expandable sections inside. You can actually find both New Zealand and Faroe Islands in there.

If you view-source the Italy page, you can find a link to both of those countries.

Sexism links to both philosophy and Ethiopia. It is treating links as an undirected graph (despite the visual indication showing a directional vector), which seems entirely fair.

[the_af]

It seems somewhat unfair. If it's not a directed graph, it means you can't actually navigate from the source to the target page by following these links...

edit: in fact, the author describes the goal of his project in another comment here: "my goal for the project which is to traverse the links as any human would be able to".

[larkeith]

This is incorrect; links are considered a directed graph, as can be seen by reversing the start and end points of most paths.
