Mana - magic energy
[edit]That meaning is quite traditional, in videogames mana in often used as a magic energy, needed to cast spells or perform other actions, no article about that? --GolerGkA (talk) 09:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- The Mana article does exactly this, and tell of its origin. MythSearchertalk 09:21, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit]A non-trivial amount of the remaining items in incoming links to "mana" remain ambiguous, and it's not obvious from the context what they're supposed to refer to. This reinforces my belief that disambiguation was the right way to go, because we might well be missing articles about these other concepts and this is no longer hidden in the mass of links. I've cleaned up the Jungian psychology one so far. --Joy (talk) 09:35, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
So I checked https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Mana after a few months:
In October '23, there were 11k incoming views, which led to 5.1k identified outgoing views, of which 2.07k to Oceanian cultures (~18.8%), 903 to game terminology (~8.2%), 833 to Manna (~7.6%), 583 to the Mexican rock group (~5.3%), 204 to to Mandaeism (~1.9%), etc on to 18 destinations total. --Joy (talk) 13:32, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Page views for these links to popular topics: https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2022-06&end=2023-10&pages=Mana|Mana_(Oceanian_cultures)|Mana_(gaming)|Mana_(Mandaeism)|Mana_(food)|Mana_(Oceanian_mythology) - there is some indication of volatility and some that it settled, but I'm not sure. It should be revisited later. --13:40, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Thinking about big picture, I checked the most viewed items listed in the last year and then looked up monthly traffic at those destinations. Several other topics have had much higher general readership than the old presumed primary topic. --Joy (talk) 11:35, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
