It seems you are right to doubt! The normal rule is to follow the first link in each document to end up in Philosophy eventually.

From Jello I followed this route:

Jell-O -> All caps -> Typography -> Typesetting -> Written Language -> Language -> Communication -> Information -> Abstraction -> Rule of inference -> Premise -> Proposition -> Philosophy of Language -> Philosophy

If following the "rule" to ignore parenthesized and italicized links:

Jell-O -> Brand -> Business -> Trade -> Goods and services -> Tangibility -> Perception -> Sense -> Biological system -> Biological network inference -> Inference -> Logical reasoning -> Mind -> Thought -> Cognition -> Mental state -> Mind (Loop!)
