WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size

This project aims to add size categorization to WikiIndex. The page is where we'll develop the internal categorization scheme as well as where we'll share what we know about how to get size information from wikis running on various engines. Please jump in and help!

Categorization scheme

"size classes"

The size classes are for better orientation against zero blindness.

L

Large

M

Medium

S

Small

U

Unknown

According to the following size-class-independend ordering scheme the size classes can be changed easily.

subcategory ordering scheme

category name

"MoreThen" + digit + n x "0"

category order

n x "0" + letter

where letter is

• A if digit is 5
• B if digit is 2
• C if digit is 1

new template

We now have Template:Size. It's draft boilerplate is on it's 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 | talk 12:22, 9 Mar 2006 (EST)

How to get size information

Most wiki engines provide statistics somewhere including a page count. Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on version)

1. Category:MediaWiki: Replace Special:Recentchanges with Special:Statistics

We can also add MediaWiki listings to the http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php system which tracks various wiki stats

1. Category:MoinMoin: Replace RecentChanges with SystemInfo or System_Info
2. Category:UseModWiki: Replace ?RecentChanges with ?action=index
3. Category:PhpWiki:
4. Category:ProWiki: Replace ?RecentChanges with ?action=spx
5. Category:PmWiki: Search for / and scroll to the bottom
6. Category:Twiki: Replace /WebChanges with /WebIndex
7. Category:Oddmuse: In RecentChanges click on 1 day and replace ?action=rc;days=1;all=0;showedit=0 with ?action=index
