Talk:Teflpedia

Their "filter" sucks. Blocked me and told me to not use Norton. I'm on Linux. --91.145.73.38 08:16, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

Who are you, and what filter? Phantom Hoover 08:42, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

I'm random. When I try to visit their site they give me a 403 with a link telling me I was detected as malicious. It might be because I have a forged user agent, aka the source of all evil? fyi, below is what my request to them looks like

Yeah, it was because of the user-agent. I guess it was retarded to have it begin with 'user-agent:'. --91.145.89.86 10:25, 29 August 2009 (EDT)

Yes it has a spam filter which is designed to stop, well, spammers. I guess if you present it with something which looks spammer-like then nit blocks you. Did you get round it?--Bob M 15:59, 5 September 2009 (EDT)

Wiki factor

Why wiki-factor 2?--83.42.114.146 09:37, 25 September 2011 (PDT)

Unless anybody objects I'll put it back to factor 5.--83.42.114.146 10:37, 25 September 2011 (PDT)

5 is the correct wikifactor. Elassint, 09 26 2011

Huh - the popular pages link for page 12 ranking clearly lists "2,887 views" - therefore the wF should be 2 not 5. Or have I missed something (I personally don't think the explanation on Category:WikiFactor or Template:Size is very clear though - as how can a page lower in the rankings have a 'higher' page view????) !!! Needs more discussion on either the of the category talk page or preferably the template talk page. Rgds, Hoof Hearted 03:28, 26 September 2011 (PDT)

The example given for calculating a wikifactor is:

• For example, the wikiFactor of 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.

The corresponding line for Teflpedia is: "5 Business conversation questions ‎(6,019 views)". Or to out it another way:

• For example, the wikiFactor of Teflpedia is 5, i.e., page 5 in the list has had more than 6,000 visits, whereas page 6 has not yet reached 6,000 visits.

Therefore wikifactor five. It does not seem complicated. I do not understand your comment above. What calculation method are you using?--83.60.54.0 03:45, 26 September 2011 (PDT)
