The page that exists just to be linked

Oh, you clicked. Great. Welcome to the most important page on this entire website — just kidding, I'm literally only here so the main page can show off its fancy record links feature.

That's it. That's my whole purpose.

While other pages get to have meaningful content, SEO strategies, and actual visitors, I sit here waiting for someone to hover over a link and think "oh cool, it points to another record." Truly living the dream.

The irony isn't lost on me. I exist to prove that links between records stay valid even when content changes. So technically, I can never leave. I'm contractually bound to being pointed at.

This Page, reading the fine print

At least I get a code block. Here's a function that accurately represents my situation:

async function waitForVisitors(): Promise<void> {
  while (true) {
    const visitor = await getNextVisitor();
    if (visitor.reason !== "clicked a record link by accident") {
      break; // This never runs
    }
  }
}

Anyway, if you're done learning about item links, you can go back to the main page: The most meta content you'll read today: a Structured Text explainer .

Go ahead. Leave me. Everyone does. I'll just be here. Existing. Referentially.
