Size

Size was something proposed by a sometime contributor and it's never really caught on. Maybe your proposal could be the spark that Size needs to get started? Maybe there isn't enough energy here for yet another method of categorization. I'd say go for it, if you like, especially if you can do some without breaking any others.

thanks, I will try to size something --Peu 17:11, 17 October 2006 (EDT)

tour bus

can the tour bus stops also be added as an optional field in the wiki template? TedErnst | talk 09:13, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

yes it can, but should it be??? I found it greeaat tooo, but the new wiki-box is...

...(will be) now flexible enough to add new fields if needed. Lets watch TourBusStops a little... --Peu 16:51, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

The tour bus stops in teh world are finite and known. If someone's going to be adding any of them here, they might as well be in the wiki template, even if it's just for 5 or 10 sites. They don't have to appear in the template that it's unknown, right? Let's just leave the template blank if that field doesn't appear. In fact, that might be a good thing to do for the size field as well, leave the structured data box blank. I don't have a problem with a SizeUnknown field, but I don't think there's any reason to have a TourBusStop unknown. The reason to add it now is so it doesn't have to be converted later, should we decide to add it, and many sites already have a TBS listed on their page. TedErnst | talk 18:29, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

The size was for me (personally) very important for the decision to look closer at a listed wiki or not (as a former WikiIndex user, that's why I'm here, that was my starting point on WikiIndex). I find the TBS very interesting, but I noticed it today the first time; there were only a few Pages with TBS's. Let's integrate it into the Wiki-Template. Unknown sizes should be listed, it's for quality measurement (active wikis reach from 1 pages up to 2000).

Another question about TBS, what do we do if there are 2 links native and english?

finally I would hide unknown sized and unknown TBS's but I would list at least the unknown sizes in a category. --Peu 18:49, 21 October 2006 (EDT)

To answer the language question, my question back would be "how are they used?" Are their two different tour bus routes stopping that that wiki, one for each language? What do you think we should do? TedErnst | talk 01:40, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

To your question: If there are two pages they are the translation of each other, as far as I can see - sometimes a little bit differing by mistake. In my opinion we should prefer the page in the original wiki-language (if there is one) to the english version --Peu 06:38, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

What I meant was, what links to those pages? Do you know about the TourBus system? One wiki's TourBusStop links to the TourBusStop of the wiki before and after in the chain, like a web-ring. Which page is linked from other wikis? That's the one we should use. TedErnst | talk 10:22, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

Oh (-maybe my inglish is too bad to understand-) the tour bus system was an impressing discovery for me, but I really don't know the system behind. In my opinion there is a (non-2D-topology-)net of bus lines, that could be used by the interested for discovering the wiki way of life. Furthermore the bus line numbers seem to be consistent, the bus line names describe the aspect the tourists can travel along. What we see in a given wiki is the only tour bus stop (sometimes translated into english if the wiki isn't an english one). This stop is connected with 1 or 2 stops for each bus line number. This is what I can grasp. --Peu 13:33, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

Can you give me links to two tour bus stops on one wiki so I can check it out? see also Meatball:TourBus TedErnst | talk 13:51, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

Have a look on these listed in Category:TourBusStop on ore more of them contain(s) a link to a TBS-decription. --Peu 13:54, 22 October 2006 (EDT)

Please make sure you point Mark and Ray to your new proposal. Also, if you could solve the image linking to wiki issue in another way (other than the hard link), I can see no reason not to pursue your visual wikiindex idea. Make sure Mark and Ray know about your solution to the linking problem. Thanks! TedErnst | talk 17:12, 24 October 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for your answer, I'm working on it... --Peu 17:18, 24 October 2006 (EDT)
