WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size

Template:WikiProject Template:RightTOC 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!

Size categories are being renamed

According to the discussion contribution of User:69.87.199.67, I think, we should establish a way for auto-categorisation of size in certain way(s):

• Wiki with 201 to 500 pages

by typing

wiki_pages = 349 (in our Size Template)

in the Template:Size, the date can be obtained by

{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} // (20241225142952) [1]

or similar (year-month-day). Using the parser funcions extension #if or #switch, size and size categorization time could be auto-categorized for maintainance. --Wolf | talk 14:11, 21 February 2007 (PST)

Categorization scheme

We now have a new mechanism of caterorization of wikis by size. The size template has a new parameter – pages – that should be used to set the page count, the 'wiki_size' parameter is now obsolete. The size categories are moving now, the old will be transformed into redirects (in the following list, I strike out categories that I've already emptied):

Category:Wiki Size (old style) → Category:Wiki Size

• Wikis with unknown size U
  • Category:YourWikiSize - uncategorized yet
  • Category:UnknownSize (it's well-known that the size is unknown)
  • Category:No realtime statistics
• Small wikis S
  • Category:Empty → Category:Empty wiki
  • Category:LessThan10 → Category:Wiki with 1 to 10 pages
  • Category:MoreThan10 → Category:Wiki with 11 to 20 pages
  • Category:MoreThan20 → Category:Wiki with 21 to 50 pages
  • Category:MoreThan50 → Category:Wiki with 51 to 100 pages
• Medium wikis M
  • Category:MoreThan100 → Category:Wiki with 101 to 200 pages
  • Category:MoreThan200 → Category:Wiki with 201 to 500 pages
  • Category:MoreThan500 → Category:Wiki with 501 to 1,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan1000 → Category:Wiki with 1,001 to 2,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan2000 → Category:Wiki with 2,001 to 5,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan5000 → Category:Wiki with 5,001 to 10,000 pages
• Large wikis L
  • Category:MoreThan10000 → Category:Wiki with 10,001 to 20,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan20000 → Category:Wiki with 20,001 to 50,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan50000 → Category:Wiki with 50,001 to 100,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan100000 → Category:Wiki with 100,001 to 200,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan200000 → Category:Wiki with 200,001 to 500,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan500000 → Category:Wiki with 500,001 to 1,000,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan1000000 → Category:Wiki with 1,000,001 to 2,000,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan2000000 → Category:Wiki with 2,000,001 to 5,000,000 pages
  • Category:MoreThan5000000 → Category:Wiki with more than 5,000,000 pages

"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 format

"Wiki with " + lower_bound_page_count + " to " + upper_bound_page_count + " pages"

category order

(digits of lower_bound_page_count -1) × "0" + letter

where letter is depenfing on the most significant digit of lower_bound_page_count

• A if most this digit is 5
• B if most this digit is 2
• C if most this 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)
