Fandom hyperlink is of fandom the noun (wiki/Fandom), not fandom the website (wiki/Fandom_(website))[edit]

i imagine it'd make more sense for it to link to the wikipedia page of the website since the entry is of the website

I keep fixing it, but it changes back at every update. Certes (talk) 19:10, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear sentence[edit]

"This list does not factor subpages that use the same domain as the parent site."

Hard to understand this. What does "factor" mean? Can a clearer word be used? What are "subpages that use the same domain as the parent site"? Can an example be given? To me, it would seem as if "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites" is a "subpage" that uses the same domain as "wikipedia.org", and so would not be "factored", but that would make a nonsense of all the stats, wouldn't it? So what DOES it mean? Thanks. 2A00:23C8:7B0C:9A01:543C:A619:5528:AB57 (talk) 15:47, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It just occurred to me ... is it just saying that stats for "subpages" are not split out separately but are all lumped together under the main domain name, so e.g. all hits on "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-visited_websites" are counted as "wikipedia.org". Is that what it means? If so, gotta be a better way of explaining it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:7B0C:9A01:543C:A619:5528:AB57 (talk) 15:54, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It means although google.com is listed as the most-visited website, it technically includes all pages hosted on the google.com domain, including mail.google.com, google.com/maps, translate.google.com, docs.google.com, etc. Similarly, youtube.com also includes tv.youtube.com, music.youtube.com, etc. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:12, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two OpenAIs[edit]

It would appear OpenAI is twice on the list, because both sources put OpenAI in different spots. Does anyone know how to fix that? XCBRO172 (talk) 18:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
