But I find the categories here very confusing.  When I look at an article here, and see a wiki rated as "over 200 pages", I immediately want to know, 200-500?  200-1000? 200-2000?  I don't think these categories are helpful.  Why not just say "about 237 pages" or "about 237 pages on 14feb07"?  Appropriate, user-controllable categories can usefully be applied later, but why fuzz the data from the get-go?  And if categories *are* going to be applied at the source, they should have a full name there, 200to999 etc.  The short form category name should only be used in an ordered list where the bounds are obvious.--[[User:69.87.199.67|69.87.199.67]] 05:53, 15 February 2007 (PST)

:Thanks for the input. I think we can make this in a better way: (clear names for size categories,date stamping)
BTW: What about size classes "1" for the biggest, "2" for wikis with a half of pages --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 06:08, 15 February 2007 (PST)
