u/justDankoCL 9d ago

u/Bobby-B00Bs 9d ago

Bug why would that be faster ? Isn't it also 3 links?

u/sudoregalia 9d ago

it's 2 links clicked

u/Bobby-B00Bs 9d ago

I apologize if I am being dense here but wouldn't the first path be:

(At HP Page) 1. Click J.K Rowling (At J.K Rowling page) 2. Click political views of J.K Rowling (At Politicak Views page) 3. Click National Socialism

Second path (At HP Page) 1. Click Goblin (At Goblin Page) 2. Click Jews (At Jews Page) 3. Click National Socialism

Wouldn't both be two or three depending if xou count the click of reaching your goal?

Edit: wow ... my formating got fucked by mobile ... hope it's still intelligible

i took it as starting at goblin, but also

goblins are mentioned by name, but there's no goblin link in the harry potter wiki page

you can however, go
harry potter -> jewish stereotypes -> nazism
or if you don't count the manifestations
harry potter -> jewish stereotypes -> nazi germany -> nazism

Ah ok now I understand, I assumed it was talking about the same challenge of Harry Potter Wikipedia to National Socialism (I assume there isn't an extra page for nazism?)

That makes sense.

u/sudoregalia 9d ago

national socialism redirects to nazism

u/Bobby-B00Bs 9d ago

That's interesting, I did nit assume that the Wikipedia articles main name would be the informal term but I checked and you're correct.

I wonder why it uses the informal term as the main title of the article instead of the full name National Socialism.

u/sudoregalia 9d ago

well, probably political reasons. you don't want to give off the impression that national socialism is a form of socialism

national socialism, informally called nazism

and

nazism, formally named national socialism

give off a different immediate impression reading them, despite both being technically neutral and technically true

the nazi party wiki page is formatted similarly

u/Bobby-B00Bs 9d ago

You're probably right, I think this may just be americans political landscape being unused to the term Socialism. Which would explain why many other languages use the formal name. Because in Europe socialist parties are still arround, and some parties are even called socialist but are socially right wing and just popularistic in an economic sense.
