From the “Contribute” page[1]:

> Nestflix is a wiki dressed up as a streaming platform that catalogs fictional films and tv shows inside real movies and tv shows.

The Princess Bride scenes were neither film nor show, so it doesn’t count.

> Or Aladdin (1992), framed as a tale told by a peddler. I was disappointed that the story didn't come back to the peddler at the end, it felt like an unclosed parenthesis.

That was the original idea[2][3].
