-wikiFactor measures the impact of a wiki site, the wikiFactor, which is based on the popular  [[Wikipedia:H-index]], used for research citations. Details are given in the paper [http://arXiv.org/abs/0902.3439 "wikiFactor: a measure of the importance of a wiki site"]. It is simple to calculate; first one goes to the [[Special:Popularpages]] page (for MediaWikis), then the wikiFactor is the number of pages, wF, that has had more than 1000wF visits.

-For example, the wikiFactor of [[Welcome |WikiIndex]] is 12, ''i.e.'', page 12 in the list has had more than 12,000 visits, whereas page 13 has not yet reached 13,000 visits.
+'''wikiFactor''' ('''wF''') is the term used to describe the measurement of the impact of a [[wiki]] site.  The {{tag|wikiFactor}} is based on the popular [[:Category:Science|scientific]] '''Hirsch {{Wp|H-index|''h''-index}}''', as used for [[:Category:Research|research]] [[citation]]s.  Details are given in the paper presented by [[Carl McBride|Dr Carl McBride]]: ''[https://arXiv.org/abs/0902.3439 wikiFactor: a measure of the importance of a wiki site]''.<ref>[[Carl McBride|Dr Carl McBride, PhD]] (20 February 2009); '''[https://arXiv.org/pdf/0902.3439.pdf wikiFactor: a measure of the importance of a wiki site.]''' (PDF); arXiv.org; ''Departamento de Química Física. Facultad de Ciencias Químicas. Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Ciudad Universitaria 28040 [[:Category:Madrid|Madrid]], [[:Category:Spain|Spain]].''</ref>  It used to be very simple to calculate, as its raw data was included as a {{tag|Statistics|statistical}} output of the integral core of some of the most popular {{tag|Wiki engine|wiki engines}}.  As an example; for previous releases of the ubiquitous [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]], first one would go to the <tt>Special:PopularPages</tt> page, and the wikiFactor value was determined as the number of pages – wF – that has had more than 1000&nbsp;wF visits.
-[[:Category:wikiFactor]] is used, and  the value of wF be included in either the [[Template:Wiki |Wiki]] template or the  [[Template:Size |Size]] template. --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User_talk:Spud_Gun |talk]]) 05:34, 4 March 2009 (EST)
+For example, the wikiFactor of [[WikiIndex]] (as reported by the final version of MediaWiki which included <tt>Special:PopularPages</tt>) is 20, ''i.e.'', page 20 in the list has had more than 20,000 visits, whereas page 21 has not yet reached 21,000 visits.
-: I would like to see us include it in to [[Template:Wiki]] sometime.  [[MarkDilley]]
