I | == Size == | ||
I | I notice you've been searching for "e" or something to categorize non-mediawiki wikis. You've seen this? [[WikiProject:By Size#How to get size information]] which shows how to get statistics for other engines? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:58, 5 November 2006 (EST) | ||

I | == tour bus == | ||
I | can the tour bus stops also be added as an optional field in the wiki template? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 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... --[[User:Peu|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]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 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. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 18:49, 21 October 2006 (EDT) | |||
I | ::: 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]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 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 --[[User:Peu|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]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 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. --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 13:33, 22 October 2006 (EDT) | |||
I | ::: Can you give me links to two tour bus stops on one wiki so I can check it out? see also [[Meatball:TourBus]] [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 13:51, 22 October 2006 (EDT) | ||

Ah, there are no changes to the boilerplate! Excellent. So this means we don't have to change which template to use, we only have to copy Wiki/2 onto Wiki, correct? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 18:37, 25 October 2006 (EDT) | |||
: This was my first intention too, now I think it would be better to '''copy only the contents''' from [[template:Wiki/2|Wiki/2]] to [[template:Wiki|Wiki]]. So we keep the history of Wiki and leave the Wiki/2 template for further development. ("We are never done.") --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 02:49, 26 October 2006 (EDT) | |||

==Wiki size== | |||
I | I saw that you downgraded [[Rosetta Code|my wiki]] size from 200+ to 100+, stating that the wiki size was 104 pages. How did you arrive at that number? I counted all the pages in my normal namespace, dropped duplicates and non-wiki-theme pages, and still came to a number in excess of 210. And that's not including the Category: namespace, where a good deal of my content lies. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 19:48, 15 March 2007 (PDT) | ||
: Hi, [[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]], I had a look at the [http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Special:Statistics statistics] of your wiki and there was stated that <tt>there are ''Number'' pages that are probably legitimate content pages</tt>. Thats the Problem for '''all''' [[:Category:MediaWiki|wikis]] based on the [[MediaWiki]] software. '''I know''' that there are much more content in all these wikis. '''You''' may change the size calculation rule for all MediaWiki based wikis. Describe your generalizable method [[WikiProject:By Size#How to get size information|here]] and we will change that point. best regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 01:25, 16 March 2007 (PDT) | |||
I | |||
I | ==C++== | ||
I | |||
I | C++ doesn't work on Rosetta Code due to HTTP limitations. I understand that it ''should'' be possible to fix it with .htacces, but I was never able to get any .htaccess rules to work. Strictly speaking, the problem is with Apache. Apache assumes that + is an encoding character for the space character, so it replaces the + with a space. MediaWiki drops the trailing spaces in the requested page name, so C++ ends up pointing to C. I upgraded to 1.9.1 from 1.6, expecting the problem to go away, but it didn't. Eventually, I couldn't afford spending any more time trying to beat it into submission. I could always try upgrading to 1.9.3, but since the problem primarily lies in Apache, I don't think it would help. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 14:01, 16 March 2007 (PDT) | ||
:Upgrading would not work, the problem with C++ has gone already with the upgrade to 1.8.2. I'm sure now that it's not a MediaWiki issue. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:42, 17 March 2007 (PDT) | |||

I | |||
I | I have noticed that you have changed the "wiki_pages" variable for [[SklogWiki]]. I have a question; is this | ||
I | variable automatically retrieved and updated? All the best, --[[User:Spud Gun|Spud Gun]] 04:56, 6 July 2007 (EDT) | ||
: Hi [[User:Spud Gun|Spud Gun]], | |||
: no, it [http://www.sklogwiki.org/SklogWiki/index.php/Special:Statistics?action=raw isn]'t, but the [[:Category:Wiki with 501 to 1,000 pages|size category]] is ([[SklogWiki]] is the first new-style size-categorized of its size class). It would be imaginable to have automatic updated page counts, but the categorization mechanism would'nt work this way. ''Comparing'' or ''grouping'' wikis by size is more important than life updates for size. ''WikiIndex-People'' update all the aspects of a indexed wiki (the wiki software provides only services like [[Special:Ancientpages]]).

== [[Template:Wiki Boilerplate]] == | |||
Hey, your changes to the template [[Template:Wiki Boilerplate|Wiki Boilerplate]] broke things in the statistics part: The links to the "wikis by size" categories don't work anymore. It's because you changed ''wiki_size'' to ''wiki_pages''. I would have fixed it already if I only had a clear idea of what you were trying to do with your change and what exactly went wrong...--[[User:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 23:56, 14 July 2007 (EDT) | |||

== Re: DokuWiki-question == | |||
I | Hi, regarding your question about page counts: somebody on IRC confirmed there is no way to get a page count in a default DokuWiki installation, nor does he know of an existing plugin for that. | ||
Perhaps a way to get this statistic would be social engineering: asking the wiki admins to tell us their page counts themselves. Alternatively, I could develop a plugin for that and we could advertise it on the website. How does that sound? | |||
I | -- [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 13:20, 29 September 2007 (EDT) | ||
I | : hm, I don't know ... of course we could ask the admins ... maybe we should guess the page count in the DokuWiki entries? | ||
: I think we should communicate a little bit more with the people of the indexed wiki: They could have a page that links to their own wikiindex entry, than they could actualize the entry themself and we get a good indication of having listed them already --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:35, 30 September 2007 (EDT) | |||

Hallo Wolf!<br/> | |||
Eine Frage an dich als Experten. Wie geht man eigentlich hier mit Wikis um, die gar nicht mehr existieren? Habe es zufällig bei [[Dreiundzwanzig]] gesehen, dass auf dem gleichen URL jetzt eine anmeldungspflichtige Seite steht, die so rein gar nichts mit der Mediawiki-Software zu tun hat. Gruß, [[User:Tiberius|Tiberius]] 03:44, 20 November 2007 (EST) | |||
:Wenn es keein Wiki (mehr) ist, dann kann es durch <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:NotAWiki|NotAWiki]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> getaggt werden, in diesem Falle könnte es auch provatisiert sein, dann wird das "Wiki" des Wiki-Templates in "Private" geändert und man sieht nicht mehr viel.

== Yes, based off of your brilliant problem solving solution! == | |||
Hi Wolf, forgive me for not [http://www.aboutus.org/Template_talk:WikiGuide attributing] to you or letting you know, my apologies. Your solution took a few months to settle into my head as absolute genius. Also, I did a bunch of work here last weekend and it rattled around some more. Then as I was brainstorming with Drew a couple days ago, it seemed to work into the problem we were having there. What do you think? ~~ [[MarkDilley]] | |||

== text editor == | |||
Dear Peu, | |||
Thank you for motivating me to (at last!) create [[:Category:text editor]]. | |||
Naturally, I think WikiIndex needs that "text editor" category -- because there are several wiki that have that as their main [[wiki Topic]]. | |||
I'm a big fan of the "vim" editor. | |||
(I have it running in another window right now). | |||

I believe that "ext" only works when a person is logged into this wiki and is currently browsing it. I never log out as well but its only because I have a bad memory :P. The only reason why I actually like that ext is because it tells you if you are the only one browsing it or people actually do visit this wiki. While I'm typing this, there are 27 guests online which is definitely a high. I don't think it compromises any bit of privacy or anything for that matter. A few months ago, I used to be online max of 20 hours a day on all the wiki's i was [[Cometstyles|part off]] and I did try to get this ext on wikia as well as it allowed users to know if a staff/admin was online and available instead of being forced to go on IRC to report ongoing vandalism.

== TV Show or Television? == | |||
Hi Peu. For categories, would you rather go with "TV Show" or "Television"? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 21:35, 14 December 2009 (EST) | |||
: I think TV Show is more specific. Shold we have "TV Show" as a subcategory to Television. But this is only one facet. If we want to keep the amount of categories low, we should shurely prefer [[:Category:Television]] (or [[:Category:TV]]?). Best regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:05, 15 December 2009 (EST) | |||
::We don't seem to be that rigid about categories here and I think that's a good thing. "TV Show" seems like a logical subcategory to "Television". However, that means that there are a lot of wikis which we should probably recategorize or add to the "TV Show" category. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:58, 15 December 2009 (EST) | |||
::: Someone did some work on the category structure. Should we start a [[:Category:WikiProjects|wiki project]] or resume [[WikiProject:Categories and Tags]] with him (I can't remember who right now)? --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:34, 18 December 2009 (EST) | |||
::::Restarting the WikiProject is probably a good idea. I've created several new categories, but it would be great to get others' input into how they should be organized. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:41, 15 March 2010 (EDT) | |||
== Dreiundzwanzig translation == | |||
Well done! I only made a few adjustments. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 14:37, 15 March 2010 (EDT) | |||
: Thanks for the corrections. So i'll have an eye on [[:Category:Translation from German]]. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 04:36, 16 March 2010 (EDT) | |||

::Yes, the (un) is understandable. The use of parentheses in this way is uncommon, but not unheard of. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 16:12, 16 March 2010 (EDT) | |||
== sysop == | |||
What is the problem with this? Ah, you don't speake good english, ok, I live in Germany. Was ist problem? Ich habe gute Absichten ... und wissen, wie man dieses Recht ausgezeichnet. Guten-abend! [[User:Erwin|Erwin]] 03:27, 2 April 2010 (EDT) | |||
: Dann solltest du uns den Gefallen tun, erst einmal mitzuarbeiten. Soweit ich weiß, hat keiner der derzeitigen Administratoren um seine erweiterten Rechte gebettelt, sondern einfach zuerst jede Menge nützlicher Dinge getan. Ich denke, man kann sehr gut ohne die Rechte arbeiten, derzeit gibt es kaum geschützte Seiten und keine Seiten zu löschen. Bitte hör auf, uns mit Versprechen zu nerven, und zeige uns statt dessen einfach eine Weile lang was du drauf hast. Beste Grüße, | |||
: ''In that case please be so kind as to begin to co-work first of all. As far as I know, nobody of the current sysops solicited for their extended rights, but rather did first a whole lot of useful things. Please stop annoying us with promises, show instead what you are willing and able to do for a while. Best Regards, | |||

== Template:Down vs. Template:Cannot connect == | |||
Hi Wolf, a new template was recently created—{{tl|Down}}—which has the same purpose as {{tl|Cannot connect}}. In addition to putting the wiki into a "failed to connect" category, it also adds some text to the description. It was created by [[User talk:Wikademia|Wikademia]]. Perhaps these two templates should be merged? --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 12:51, 16 December 2010 (PST) | |||

== Unknown size == | |||
I think [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=SiliconValois&curid=14884&diff=91778&oldid=62776 that] gives a [[WikiGnome]] a project to figure out the sizes of all those [[wiki]] in that [[category]]. Make sense? Best, [[MarkDilley]] | |||

== Language templates == | |||
Ohhhhh - they look very wrong!! Did these all go wrong after a [[Special:Log/delete|recent deletion]] of a related template? Maybe try undeleting [[Template:Langdemo]]. I looked back through the history of [[Template:Language]] (along with all the related templates), and it is now messed up even when you revert back to before all my edits . . . Have we had a MediaWiki software upgrade? Or has any parser add-on functions been disabled? Any other templates affected? Best, --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 11:16, 10 January 2012 (PST) | |||
