Support This subject is 18 years old. A further evaluation rather than putting forth WP:RECENTISM in the arguments is warranted. Stretching back to 3 years to compare with Our Song (Anne-Marie and Niall Horan song), the pageviews support the claim that this song is the primary topic, with Taylor Swift song hold an average daily page view of 291 vs 42 of Anne-Marie and Niall Horn's. If we look back from when the pageviews are first recorded, Taylor Swift's song has consistently garner the top page view counts, with exception of when Anne-Marie and Niall Horan released their song (which also has a downward trend).
If we look at wikinav, for July 2024, it clearly indicates that those who land on the diambiguation page at Our Song are more likely than not to click on Taylor's Swift song article link. While I don't look into the raw clickstream data as closely as what @Joy does, I am inclined to think that this would also hold for most of the months, if not all of the months. – robertsky (talk) 05:55, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. It's interesting, there's very little traffic - it's hard to say much with 57 views, 17 outgoing clickstreams identified, and 13 filtered. Monthly traffic shows this July to be on the lower end of interest, so I looked at the archive and the picture is largely the same:

This looks consistent, but even at its peak we can only prove that about 1 reader a day had to find the Swift song in the list, which isn't exactly a great data point. It's clear enough that we should start with formatting a common section at the top and put that entry there, and then try to measure if that helped readers.
If we look at the incoming traffic for the same period:

The biggest spikes in traffic seemed to coincide with a time when the two Eras Tour articles linked to it, which was probably fixed since? The organic traffic could all be about Swift song, or it could be scattered, there's too little of it to avoid significant filtering (anonymization thresholds). --Joy (talk) 07:39, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
