I just reverted an anon change to put this table on the right.  Maybe that's appropriate, if it's right underneath our main wiki template, but the way I'm visioning this right now, it'll be at the very bottom of the page, and centered.  Of course this can change.  Please discuss when changing again.  Thanks!

When providing a link to a wiki's statistics, is the raw count preferred, or the more user-friendly version? Obviously, it's up to the editor's discretion, but is there any advantage to providing the raw statistics without the accompanying explanations? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 16:16, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

: Raw is good for MediaWikis in rarely spoken languages i.e. Chinese, because raw is in "SimpleEnglish". --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 06:25, 21 December 2008 (EST)

Hello folks, trying to leave a comment in the correct place - I would like the wikiFactor above the number of pages, both for aesthetics and because it is cool!  Please point me to any discussion of this.  Best, [[MarkDilley]]

: I've found your original ping (at [[Template talk:WikiFactorCatText]]). The idea is very new (cool indeed). Let's give it a try. It's still open, if the value of wikiFactor can be understood easily (is it a criterion of quality, importance, "inner" size ?). In a few day we know more about that. I want to make a graph then with the first about 50 samples. So help with adding some more factors! ;-) Greetings --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 04:27, 27 March 2009 (EDT)

== "good pages" for MediaWikis ==
What should we do about this? It's an endless work to tell folks that only the value "good pages" (often called ''legitimate content pages'') should be used here at wikiindex. I think it's time to discuss this point again. As an active contributor to some MediaWikis, I know the difference well - but, no wiki software but MediaWiki knows this difference. I suggest to [edit] this. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 15:31, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

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)
