Fall Out[edit]

Fall out small case goes to Fallout. But Fall Out capital O is not likely to be intended for Fallout. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:45, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

– I am here after finding this disambiguation page on top of Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Popular pages for April '24 with ~2.8 million views, which is a bit too much to ignore.

Page history shows this was moved based on Special:WhatLinksHere/Fallout (which is an indication of editor behavior, not necessarily reader behavior, and WP:RF), and anonymous users tried to move it twice now (but a long time ago).

https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Nuclear_fallout for April shows the by far the most popular outgoing clickstreams from there are to the hatnotes, outpacing the next identifiable clickstream by orders of magnitude.

Honestly the main reason I'm even raising a discussion here instead of just moving this is that nobody seemed to complain since 2010. This seems to imply that either navigation was fine, or that the threshold for modifying it was too high.

Page view statistics for the popular topics indicate the latest spike is because of the recent reader interest in the TV series. This latest thing also being based on the franchise in turn contributes to the notion that the long-term significance of the franchise isn't ignorable compared to that of nuclear fallout. --Joy (talk) 20:26, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom (and I've added the TV show to the hatnote) - the "popular pages" is almost certainly bot-driven, but for many years the video game franchise has been comparable in traffic, and with a contemporaneous TV series of this name it is clear there is no primary topic.

Support per nom. There's no 100%-clear primary topic for the term itself; the safest bet is to move the disambiguation page to the basename. Paintspot Infez (talk) 01:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
