Figured it out.

And while questions about URLs can be about programming, this one really doesn't seem to be. It's certainly off-topic on Stack Overflow, the site I moderate. It's also off-topic on Web Applications (which, while not about computer science/programming, is mentioned there) unless it's about a specific web application, according to a moderator there. Basically, I don't see what site from that list you're implying it should be posted on. | |

| Apr 19, 2023 at 14:24 | comment | added | Ryan M | @gnat This isn't about computer science or programming, so that does not answer this question. | |

| Apr 18, 2023 at 16:02 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Dunno where you can ask, but that's most likely a "cache breaker", meant to prevent the browser from caching the page, if the value of the URL parameter is random. If it's not random, might be tracking, e.g. to know where you came from. | |

this is the correct form.

| Apr 18, 2023 at 15:14 | comment | added | smitop | Someone asked that question on Stack Overflow in 2018 and it was closed. | |
| Apr 18, 2023 at 15:13 | comment | added | Ryan M | With the information provided here, that question would be closed due to lack of detail on any Stack Exchange site. That string doesn't inherently do anything in a URL, so we'd need a lot more context. With that context, there are some sites that it could be on topic on (for instance, if the question were "Why does Contoso Antivirus report an error when I open a URL with the string 'scrlybrkr' in it?", that would be on-topic on Super User), but we'd need the context to make a useful site recommendation. | |
