    Could this potentially get increased to 20? Just because there are so many great settings out there.

      Editing … Also please add as settings: Redwall World/World of Redwall (either/or), The Unsleeping City (Dimension 20), Marvel Cinematic Universe (as a distinct setting), Spyre (Dimension 20), Remnant (RWBY), Amestris (Fullmetal Alchemist), Bahumia (Not Another D&D Podcast), Trinyvale (Not Another D&D Podcast), Fableverse (from the Fables comic series), Dragon Ball Universe (surprisingly doesn't seem to be there), Europa (Valkyria Chronicles), Incredibles World, Animorphs Universe (also there doesn't seem like there's any Animorphs on the site at all???), Calorum (Dimension 20), Eldermourne (Not Another D&D Podcast), World of Foon (Hello from the Magic Tavern), and finally the X-Men Film Universe.

      Editing … Some of these feel weird to add, since they're just our world but filled with different people. Maybe it'd make more sense to just make the franchise pages themselves rankable. For the X-Men movies I named the page Earth-10005

      Editing … I would argue that ones like that (Unsleeping City, Fableverse, Animorphs, MCU, X-Men) are still fundamentally different settings. Having aliens and powers and magic and hidden societies and an established multiverse etc. all makes the settings extremely different from the world we live in. It's not about the characters, but about the rules of the setting. The Unsleeping City is "just magic New York" but there's still a tone of worldbuilding put into it that makes it a distinct place.

      Editing … To me the problems with making the franchise pages rankable are twofold: first, it creates more disorganization as they're used for different kinds of lists, which affects the aggregate, and more importantly, there is actually a difference between say the X-Men film series and the setting it takes place in that matters. One is about an entertainment product from an out of universe perspective; the other is worldbuilding and immersiveness and isn't necessarily about the plot or characters at all, and it's important to acknowledge that. There is a difference between something with the franchise tag and something with the location or setting tag (and I would argue setting is a better term than fictional location anyway; all locations are about setting, but setting is about more than just location).
