So this could be why some Wiki Managers are/were advising Admins to preferrably avoid or change very looong "list" pages to a Category pointing to a collection of short pages ? ... I mean the "it's much better for Mobile Users who have to scroll" is kind of a "half truth" the other half being it is very benefical to FANDOM as it globally improves their visibility thus the visibility of their Advertising partners ... (^)

It also explains why SEO so often translates into "gaming search engines algorithm" in a race for the "first page" ... and people should make an habit to browse the first FEW pages when "googling" since very unbiased, informative, reliable sites without the means to pay a "Web Agency" can appear as far as on the 5th or 10th page of results while "click baiting" sites often appears at the top of the 1st page.
