'''wikiFactor''' ('''wF''') 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 [[MediaWiki]]s), then the wikiFactor is the number of pages, wF, that has had more than 1000 wF 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.

[[: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)
