__NOTOC__
==Parameters==
;pages: number of 'legitimate' wiki pages (no 'thousands' separator), see [[#How to get size information|below for details]]
: (''alternative parameter names:'' <tt>wiki pages</tt>, <tt>wiki_pages</tt>)
:: this is a necessary parameter.  It selects the appropriate '''[[:Category:Wiki Size|wiki size category]]'''.
 
;statistics URL: external link to the wiki's statistics page
: (''alternative parameter names:'' <tt>wiki statistics URL</tt>, <tt>wiki_statistics_URL</tt>)
:: this is an optional, though preferred parameter.
 
;wikiFactor: plain value, see [[#How to calculate the wikiFactor of a site|below for details]]
: (''obsolete parameter name:'' <s><tt>wiki factor</tt></s>)
:: this is an optional parameter. It selects the appropriate '''[[:Category:wikiFactor|wikiFactor category]]'''.
 
;wikiFactor URL: external link to the wiki page that contains the database the wikiFactor was calculated from
: (''obsolete parameter name:'' <s><tt>wiki factor URL</tt></s>)
:: this is an optional, though preferred parameter.  However, if the above wikiFactor parameter is used, then this parameter ''should'' also be used to provide verifiability to the wikiFactor claim.  You may still include this parameter even if you are unsure on how to calculate the above wikiFactor value – as it will allow other [[WikiIndex]] editors to assist in calculating the wikiFactor for you.
 
;(As of<nowiki>:</nowiki> DD Month YYYY): manually add the date for when you actually check and/or update the stats.
 
==Boilerplate==
When anyone goes to [[Community Portal]] and hits the "Create a New Wiki Page" button, the default boilerplate includes this:
 
<pre>
{{Size
|pages = <!--Necessary. Type the plain number of pages here - no thousands separators.-->
|statistics URL = <!--Preferred, source of page count (mostly a statistics page). If unknown leave void.-->
|wikiFactor = <!--Optional. If unknown leave void. (See Proposal:wikiFactor)-->
|wikiFactor URL = <!--Optional, source of wiki factor. If unknown leave void.-->
}}</pre>

==How to get size information==
Most [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] provide statistics somewhere, which includes a page count.  Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on the software version being run by the said wiki).  For most, you need to add (or replace) a specific text at the end of the relevant wiki URL in the address bar of your web browser.
#[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] – add ''Special:Statistics'' at the end of the URL||<code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code> – There is a number called "Content pages" or sometimes "pages that are probably legitimate content pages" -- use <u>that</u> number.  Ignore the (often much larger) "all pages in the wiki, including redirects" number.  We can also [http://s23.org/wikistats/addwiki/ add] MediaWiki listings to the http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php system which tracks various wiki stats.
#[[:Category:MoinMoin|MoinMoin]] – add ''PageSize'' at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/PageSize</nowiki></code>
#[[:Category:UseModWiki|UseModWiki]] – add ''?action=index'' at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/?action=index</nowiki></code>
#[[:Category:Pbwiki|Pbwiki]] – replace any page name with <code>AllPages</code>
#[[:Category:PhpWiki|PhpWiki]] – an option: Search for letter "e" in all Titles (''Is there a better way?'')
#[[:Category:ProWiki|ProWiki]] – add ''?action=spx'' at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/?action=spx</nowiki></code>
#[[:Category:PmWiki|PmWiki]] – search for / and scroll to the bottom (maybe searching for <code>main/</code> would be better)
#[[:Category:Tikiwiki|Tikiwiki]] – replace ending <code>/tiki-lastchanges.php</code> with <code>/tiki-stats.php</code>
#[[:Category:Twiki|Twiki]] – add ''/WebIndex'' at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/WebIndex</nowiki></code>
#[[:Category:Oddmuse|Oddmuse]] – in ''RecentChanges'' click on ''1 day'' and replace ''?action=rc;days=1;all=0;showedit=0'' with ''?action=index''
#[[:Category:Wikispaces|Wikispaces]] – replace ''/changes'' ending the recent changes url with ''/pagelist''
#[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] – is usually found somewhere prominent on the main page, more detailed info can be found at <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code>
#[[:Category:DokuWiki|DokuWiki]] – ???
 
==How to calculate the wikiFactor of a site==
The '''wikiFactor''' is a measure of the 'popularity' of a wiki-site.  It is based on the Hirsch [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index h-index] which is commonly used to measure the impact a scientist has had in the literature.  The wikiFactor complements the number of pages and total number of visits information.  More details can be found in the preprint [http://arXiv.org/abs/0902.3439 "wikiFactor: a measure of the importance of a wiki site"].
 
The wikiFactor is simply the number of pages in the wiki (''wF'') that have had more than 1000 times ''wF'' visits.
 
====Example====
A wikiFactor of, say, 12 means that page number 12 in the ranking of pages visited has received 12,000 or more visits, whereas page 13 has not yet reached 13,000 visits.  Here is a worked example (here for [[Special:Popularpages|WikiIndex]]):
 
<div style="margin-left:2em">
{| style="background-color:#eee; text-align:center"
! Position (p)<br>most visited first
! Page name (views)
! Relation<br>views [<=>] 1000*p
|-
| 1.
| Welcome (572,833 views)
| style="background-color:#efe"|572,833 '''&gt;''' 1,000
|-
| 2.
| Bulbapedia (42,344 views)
| style="background-color:#efe"| 42,344 '''&gt;''' 2,000
|-
| 3.
| Community Portal (28,489 views)
| style="background-color:#efe"| 28,489 '''&gt;''' 3,000
|- style="text-align:center"
| –<br>–<br>–
| —<br>—<br>—
| style="background-color:#efe"| —<br>—<br>—
|-
| 11.
| Wiki.ThePPN (14,724 views)
| style="background-color:#efe"| 14,724 '''&gt;''' 11,000
|-
| 12.
| Books (12,807 views)
| style="background-color:#efe"| 12,807 '''&gt;''' 12,000
|-
| 13.
| TourBusStop (12,371 views)
| 12,371 &lt; 13,000
|}
</div>
 
If one counts the entries with <code>views > 1000*p</code> (highlighted in light green) one arrives at a  wikiFactor of 12 for WikiIndex.
====Where to look====
Most [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] provide global statistics.  Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on software version)
#[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] – go to the ''Special:PopularPages'' page of the wiki – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Popularpages</nowiki></code>
#[[:Category:MoinMoin|MoinMoin]] –
#[[:Category:UseModWiki|UseModWiki]] –
#[[:Category:Pbwiki|Pbwiki]] –
#[[:Category:PhpWiki|PhpWiki]] –
#[[:Category:ProWiki|ProWiki]] –
#[[:Category:PmWiki|PmWiki]] –
#[[:Category:Tikiwiki|Tikiwiki]] –
#[[:Category:Twiki|Twiki]] –
#[[:Category:Oddmuse|Oddmuse]] –
#[[:Category:Wikispaces|Wikispaces]] – go to '''Manage Wiki''' on the left-hand-side of the page, then click on the '''Tools: Wiki Statistics''' icon.  Shift from the ''overview'' tab to the ''pages'' tab, then click on '''Views'''.
#[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] – go to ''Special:Mostvisitedpages''
#[[:Category:Wikimedia|Wikimedia]] – ''Special:PopularPages'' seems to be unavailable.  The "Top" sites option at [http://stats.grok.se/ stats.grok.se] can be used for Wikipedias, but needs to be summed on a per-month basis.
 
=====Google Analytics=====
If your site uses [[Wikipedia:Google Analytics|Google Analytics]], you can go to "Content/Top Content" and select the entire date range to get a count of pageviews for each page.  If you started using Analytics partway through, and stopped collecting your wiki engine's standard statistics at the same time, you may be able to merge the two numbers.
