'''WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size''' — this [[:Category:WikiProjects|project]] aims to add [[:Category:Wiki Size|size]] categorization to {{tag|WikiIndex}}.  This page is where we will develop the internal categorization scheme, as well as where we will share what we know about how to get size information from wikis running on various [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]].  Please jump in and help!

==Categorization scheme==
==Categorization scheme==
We now have a new mechanism of categorization of [[wiki]]s by [[:Category:Wiki Size|size]].  The [[Template:Size|size template]] has a new field parameter – <code>pages=</code> – which should be used to set the actual 'good' page count (ie, not stubs, redirects, talk pages, etc).  The original 'wiki_size' field parameter is now obsolete.

The size [[Special:Categories|categories]] have also moved; the original categories will initially be transformed into redirects.  In the following list, categories that have already emptied are striked out; and once they are emptied, will be deleted (and will therefore show as red links) to avoid any future misuse:

We now have [[Template:Size]].  Its draft boilerplate is on its talk page.  Please add it to the bottom of a couple wiki entry pages to see if it works.  We still need to figure out the categorization issues. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:22, 9 Mar 2006 (EST)
