'''Brighton Toy and Model Museum's "Knowledgebase" Wiki''' is an {{tag|encyclopedia}} that provides {{tag|information}} on the {{tag|Museums|Museum's}} collections and their background and significance, and also background information on {{tag|toys}} and {{tag|model}}s, toymaking, modelmaking, makers, companies, and original pieces that are modelled.
Brighton Toy and Model Museum (BTMM) is a world-class repository and display environment for early {{tag|toys}} and {{tag|model}}s situated under Brighton Railway Station, on {{tag|England}}'s South Coast.  The {{tag|museum}} is a {{tag|Charity|Registered Charity}} (1001560), and depends on volunteers, ticket sales, donations and bequests.


The standard wikiFactor calculation gives the site a rating of "3". However, many of the site's key pages are also Category pages and don't currently show up on the "Popular pages" list. According to the site's "Statistics" page, a more accurate wikiFactor would be "6".
==Wiki==
'''The Brighton Toy and Model Index''' is a 'Knowledgebase' Wiki – an {{tag|encyclopedia}} that provides {{tag|information}} on the Museum's collections and their background and significance, and also background information on toys and models, toy-making, {{tag|Modeling|model-making}}, makers, {{tag|Company|companies}}, and original pieces that are modelled.


==Focus==
In 2014, the standard [[wikiFactor]] calculation gives the site a rating of 3.  However, many of the site's key pages are also [http://BrightonToyMuseum.co.uk/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&limit=1600 Category] pages, and don't currently show up on the 'Popular pages' list.  According to the site's 'Statistics' page in 2014, a more accurate wikiFactor would be 6.  Unfortunately, the latest version of the {{tag|MediaWiki}} software no longer provides page view statistics by default.
The museum's [[wiki]] reflects the themes of the Museum's collection, and its emphasis on {{tag|United Kingdom|UK}} and {{tag|Europe}}, for the period 1900-1955.  The site also currently holds over two thousand images.

===History===
The museum's wiki site was started as an experimental project in {{tag|FoundedIn2011|2011}}, and got a boost in [[:Category:FoundedIn2013|2013]] from the museum's [[wp:Heritage Lottery Fund|Heritage Lottery Fund]] -supported project to commemorate the 150th anniversary of [[wp:Frank Hornby|Frank Hornby]], which resulted in over five hundred pages of material being added that were relevant to [[wp:Hornby Railways|Hornby's]] company, [[wp:Meccano Ltd|Meccano Ltd.]], along with over a thousand images.

The "Hornby" project has helped to create a "critical mass" of material on the wiki that makes it easier to expand the wiki's coverage of other subjects.  The wiki's main project focus for the first half of [[:Category:FoundedIn2014|2014]] is the expansion of its material on [[wp:Bassett-Lowke|Bassett-Lowke Ltd.]] and closely-affiliated toymaking companies.
