Nice idea! Note the scraper seems to have produced a duplicate entry:
1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridges_Law_of_Headlines
2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%2527s_law_of_headlines
The second is a bad link, so I am curious how that link got shared so much.
- krussell 6y agoInteresting, looks like the wikipedia title spells it Betteridge's with an apostrophe. %27 is the url encoding for the apostrophe and %25 is the url encoding for the %. So it looks like the link somehow got url encoded twice before it was shared resulting in the apostrophe becoming %27 and then the %27 becoming %2527 and producing a bad link. Some common method of people finding and sharing that url must have had an issue where it incorrectly encoded the url twice. I wonder what it was :) . Or perhaps the scraper has a bug where it is double url encoding the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines link?
