It's certainly worth considereng. Proxima Centauri 08:05, 4 March 2009 (EST)
- I like your "wikiFactor" :-) - for MediaWikis,
number_of(edits)/number_of(good_pages)is interesting too. --Wolf | talk 10:00, 4 March 2009 (EST)
I'm not sure I understand this

- Lets have a look on our wiki:
- Popular pages (of WikiIndex):
| Position (p) most visited first |
Page name (views) | Relation views [<=>] 1000*p |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Welcome ?(572,833 views) | 572,833 > 1,000 |
| 2. | Bulbapedia ?(42,344 views) | 42,344 > 2,000 |
| 3. | Community Portal ?(28,489 views) | 28,489 > 3,000 |
| . . . |

| 11. | Wiki.ThePPN ?(14,724 views) | 14,724 > 11,000 |
| 12. | Books ?(12,807 views) | 12,807 > 12,000 |
| 13. | TourBusStop ?(12,371 views) | 12,371 < 13,000 |
- If you count the entries with
views > 1000*p(marked with green) you get the wikiFactor (12 for WikiIndex). I hope this helps. Greetings from Berlin --Wolf | talk 03:07, 6 March 2009 (EST)
- Thanks for the illustration Wolf. That is precisely how the wikiFactor is calculated. The wikiFactor is not an indication of the size of a wiki, but rather the interest that a wiki has attracted. It is entirely feasible to populate a wiki with many 'uninteresting' pages, that attract very few visits other than the Main Page. The wikiFactor is based on the highly popular (at least amongst the scientific community) h-index (Wikipedia entry).
