/* info/verify */ reply
Thanks for trying to treat me like an idiot. I don't need to click on them to see!!! I have explained why I feel there is redundancy here, but you have read into it something completely different. Yes, "Info" takes you to [[wikiFactor]], but you can go there by clicking on [[wikiFactor]], which is immediately to the left of the "Info". It is redundant. You miss my point on "Verify" also. I just dont get why it should say "Verify". If it says "Verify" here for the reasons you give, it should also say "Verify" instead of "See Stats" next to the Wiki Size. Number of pages will generally move faster than the H score, so using your logic needs to be "constantly verified" far more commonly. To me "verify" suggests that someone needs to verify it, then accept it, but this isn't the intention. I therefore think the use of "Verify" is either vague at best, or makes no sense at all. I would think "See Stats" here makes more sense. --[[User:Thedugganaut|thedugganaut]] ([[User talk:Thedugganaut|talk]]) 14:39, 14 September 2012 (PDT)
:I'm certainly NOT trying to treat anyone like an idiot :-( But I will again - PLEASE ask you to click on both links. You will then see the targets are different (one a category, the other a namespace article).
:Re your comments on "verify" - I feel you may be getting pedantic on this. My reasons for changing this are that 'stats' (as used for the page count) is simply a common abbreviation of 'Statistics' (and that is a specific MW 'Special' page) - so that remains clear and unambiguous. But for the wikiFactor, "verify" seemed the most obvious word to describe a link to what reaches either 'Mostvistedpages' or 'PopularPages' - if we had "see stats" as per your suggestion, that might confuse others into thinking it was the same page count stats page. I struggled to work out a suitable abbreviation for those MW target pages. I personally don't think 'see MVP' or 'see PP' is gonna help anyone who isn't totally au-fait with wikis, and in particular, wikiFactor.
:I also don't understand, or agree with your reasoning that by clicking on "verify" - you should be able to make the link then disappear - would you want the same logic for the "see stats" too?
:Finally, I don't agree with your thoughts that size will increase faster than the H score. Not all wikis comply with the [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] model - many wikis have relatively static page counts, but have increasing page views; whereas other wikis may have relatively static page views whilst having a rapidly increasing page count. That is what makes wikis so interesting. :-/
