Talk:Sava (disambiguation)

primary topic assumption

The river is set as primary topic since Talk:Sava/Archive 1#Move 2005. I went to double-check that per current WP:DPT tools:

WikiNav for Sava shows for October the hatnote to be at #4 outgoing clickstream but only 58. There is also 700 filtered clickstreams, but also 1.3k other not filtered to 44 destinations, so it doesn't seems terribly likely there's much more for the hatnote there.
all-time mass views for other items, plus recursion into all-time mass views for other people (natural disambiguation) show some other homonymous or eponymous topics with similar interest, but none individually above 189/day for the river.
all-time monthly page views for the most commonly sought items show a lot of spikes, so one has to use the logarithmic view to compare. There's a some one-off spikes of interest in the historical river ship (probably WP:TFA), seasonal interest in the medieval saint (probably a yearly observance), but no major changes in trend it seems.
If we add the disambiguation page traffic into that graph there's likewise no clear trend where we could say some topic requires navigation help, and a generally downward trend.

It's possible that a different argument could be made based on long-term significance, but usage doesn't seem to show much of an issue. --Joy (talk) 13:15, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While checking page history for further indications, I noticed that we actually started with the river in the primary topic position in July 2002, and it took until September for someone to notice ambiguity and note another meaning [1]. --Joy (talk) 13:18, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1,813 incoming links that would have to be disambiguated are an issue. Maybe if we would go through them and find hints of unrecognized ambiguity, it would make sense to discuss this further. --Joy (talk) 13:41, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
