wikiFactor (wF) 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 "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 1000 wF visits.
For example, the wikiFactor of WikiIndex is 20, i.e., page 20 in the list has had more than 20,000 visits, whereas page 21 has not yet reached 21,000 visits.
