That may not have been the best, or the best phrased, suggestion in the
world but, as you may actually already know, the link leads to the result
of searching for the character string "3D" in all wiki page titles,
returned in descending order of date-last-modified. Of course some of
them will be irrelevant, "pop3d" isn't even surprising. And it is only
a title search, it knows nothing about the relationships between pages.

The "empty" screens contain images, and you should have seen at least
one of those "red-x" image markers. Beyond that it's a browser issue,
what are you using?

You followed each link in turn, in order, spending very little time
on each linked page before coming back to the main page and clicking
immediately on the next link. That's what robots do, so this is no
surprise.

Because they are relevant. One of the first four isn't, the next five
are 3D pictures, as suggested by their names, and most of the rest are
relevant (again, as suggested by their names)

OK, that "robot" page should be re-worded if all you have to do to get
it is to have cookies turned off (CMcC are you listening!), but it still
told you what was happening.

Javascript? Dunno why you are mentioning that.
