triaged
Scope: This is in the Top 10 most common confusions about Segments
What happens:
The user creates a segment: Segment URL contains www.example.com/123.
The user opens Matomo >> Behavior >> Pages.
They see many pages, not only one page*.
They write to Matomo: "Segment is broken: it gives several URLs when I intend to only see one URL".
What should happen:
A hint should pop up: "It looks like you are trying to make a segment to analyze behavior of a particular page. This information already exists as a report in Matomo: Behavior >> Transitions. Or a different approach, if you have the feature Custom Reports, is to add the URL as a filter to any Custom Report." The pop up would just have a "dismiss" button and a link to the faqs for Transitions.
*This is by design, but still it is an impediment. This well-known "gotcha" is caused by Matomo's data being Visit-based, not Event-based
