however, at the same time, we could implement a change
in the way domain
names are used, that has been discussed several times in the past:
-
http://wikipedia.org/en/article/Main_Page
-
http://wikipedia.org/en/edit/Main_Page
This isn't an objection since Alexa isn't accurate anyway, but this
would prevent the "Where do people go on wikipedia.org?" at
<http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&url=wikipedia.org>
from working.
I'm not sure what other examples there are of a subdomain having any
relevance to external sites. Google Adsense used to give more
information if you split your site by subdomains, but now lets you
track directories as well as subdomains. Not that that would be a
relevant point for Wikimedia projects, but are there any other
external stats that people use that do need Wikipedia to have
subdomains?
