The easiest 'answer' to this issue is to add some 'hidden text' into the size template – something like <code><nowiki><!-- use only the smaller 'legitimate content pages' number, and NOT the larger 'total pages in the database' number --></nowiki></code>.  Rgds, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 04:29, 21 June 2011 (PDT)

I'd suggest a new parameter for smart time stamping. This can be done unsing a template with the subst-syntax. Please have a look at {{Template|now}}. Regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 04:10, 12 November 2009 (EST)

:I like that, it looks very good - see [[Goatopedia]].  Maybe we can permanently include it into the size template?  Or would that then cause the date to change on an article every time said article is editied (even when the stats arn't actually updated)?  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 05:25, 21 June 2011 (PDT)

OK, having tried to fix the '''<nowiki>{{now}}</nowiki>''' template without any success, I've now editied this '''<nowiki>{{size}}</nowiki>''' template to include <tt>(As of: DD Mmmm YYYY)</tt>.  Basically, every entry which uses the size template will now automatically be appended with '(As of: DD Mmmm YYYY)' – so hopefully, this should prompt editors of both new and existing articles to add a date.  Hope this is useful.  Rgds, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 08:24, 26 June 2011 (PDT)

I've tried to include a TOC, using the <nowiki>{{TOCright}}</nowiki> code, as in [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Template:Size&diff=84334&oldid=84333 here] – but despite my best efforts, this then includes the TOC on every article which uses this <nowiki>{{size}}</nowiki> template (or a substituted version of it).  I'll delete it again from the template, but I'd appreciate some help in getting the TOC to show right in the template (because it helps with navigation), but not in the articles this template is used in.  Rgds [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 04:59, 21 June 2011 (PDT)
