The site maintains the list of the "5,000 largest known primes", selected smaller primes of special forms, and many "top twenty" lists for primes of various forms. As of February 2023, the 5,000th prime has around 538,000 digits.[3]
The PrimePages has articles on primes and primality testing. It includes "The Prime Glossary" with articles on hundreds of glosses related to primes, and "Prime Curios!" with thousands of curios about specific numbers.
The database started as a list of titanic primes (primes with at least 1000 decimal digits) by Samuel Yates. In subsequent years, the whole top-5,000 has consisted of gigantic primes (primes with at least 10,000 decimal digits). Primes of special forms are kept on the current lists if they are titanic and in the top-20 or top-5 for their form.
