The first link rule does not work with the existence and reality pages

Latest comment: 14 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

These pages just create a loop with each other when you follow the first link rule, because the first link on this page is the reality page, and the first link on the reality page is this page.

The first link rule is basically an observation on Wikipedia that if you click the first link of each page, you will eventually reach the philosophy page. It works with almost all pages on Wikipedia. ~2026-39401-00 (talk) 02:56, 13 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

From Wikipedia:Getting to Philosophy: Please do not make edits to articles that are motivated by the concepts on this page. Such edits are purely disruptive and are quickly reverted, as they clearly do not improve the encyclopedia. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:09, 13 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
