|text='''Fictional googlology''' ('''FG''' or '''fg''') is the niche hobby of assigning {{wp|Unicode}} characters as names for fictional numbers. Fictional googology is common, as well as widely accepted, on [[TextWall]], but it faces near-universal stigmatization among OWOT's users. While fictional googology is meant to be an offshoot of {{wp|Googology|standard googology}}, it is typically regarded by OWOT's users as more of an art project that primarily serves as entertainment for children than a mathematical pursuit. People who engage in fictional googology are known as '''fictional googologists''', '''FGers''', or '''FGists'''.

Also, note about orphaned articles{{mdash}}orphaned articles are articles no other articles link to. Since this makes them nearly unreachable and, as such, effectively useless, this Wiki should have no orphaned articles.  To minimize the number of orphaned articles, all articles should be cross-referenced and smaller articles should be condensed into larger ones if possible. See {{section link|Our World of Text:State of the Wiki|De-orphaning orphaned articles}} for more ways to de-orphan articles.
