!!! tip
If you forgot to download the wikipedia rankings, then you can
also add importances after the import. Download the SQL files, then
- run `nominatim refresh --wiki-data --importance`. Updating
- importances for a planet will take a couple of hours.

### External postcodes
The main value for importance is derived from page ranking values for Wikipedia
pages for a place. For places that do not have their own
Wikipedia page, a formula is used that derives a static importance from the
-places [search rank](../customize/Ranking.md#search-rank).
+place's [search rank](../customize/Ranking.md#search-rank).
In a second step, a secondary importance value is added which is meant to
represent how well-known the general area is where the place is located. It
nominatim.org has preprocessed importance tables for the
[primary Wikipedia rankings](https://nominatim.org/data/wikimedia-importance.sql.gz)
-and for a secondary importance based on the number of tile views on openstreetmap.org.
+and for [secondary importance](https://nominatim.org/data/wikimedia-secondary-importance.sql.gz)
+based on Wikipedia importance of the administrative areas.
