wikiFactor measures the impact of a wiki site, the wikiFactor, which is based on the popular [[Wikipedia:H-index]], used for research citations. Details are given in the paper [http://arXiv.org/abs/0902.3439 "wikiFactor: a measure of the importance of a wiki site"]. It is simple to calculate; first one goes to the [[Special:Popularpages]] page (for MediaWikis), then the wikiFactor is the number of pages, wF, that has had more than 1000wF visits. | |||
the number of pages, wF, that has had more than 1000wF visits. | |||
