==Size==

I notice you've been searching for "e" or something to categorize non-mediawiki wikis.  You've seen this? [[WikiIndex: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)

:Thank you. I'm now on a logo-size-trip and thats why I'm forgetting something, I'll have a look on it again. --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:46, 5 November 2006 (EST)

==tour bus==

can the [[TourBusStop|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 [[TourBusStop]]s 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 [[Template:Wiki|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 [[Template:Size|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)

::::To answer the [[:Category:Wiki Language|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 english 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)

::::::::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)

:::::::::Have a look on these listed in [[:Category:TourBusStop]] on ore more of them contain(s) a link to a TBS-decription. --[[User:Peu|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!

:This was my first intention too, now I think it would be better to '''copy only the contents''' from Template:Wiki/2 to [[Template: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)

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, {{U|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''' wikis based on the [[:Category:MediaWiki|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 [[WikiIndex: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)

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 [[:Category:Apache|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)

==SklogWiki==

Hi there Peu, I have noticed that you have changed the "wiki_pages" variable for [[SklogWiki]]. I have a question; is this 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 wouldn't work this way. ''Comparing'' or ''grouping'' wikis [[WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size|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]]).

Hey, your changes to the [[template: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 talk:Speckmade|Speckmade]] 23:56, 14 July 2007 (EDT)

:Hi Speckmade, I want to make the size category names more readable and the sizes itself too, this was a suggestion by an anonymous at [[WikiIndex talk:WikiProject - By Size#Use real size numbers]]. I found the technical solution to this some days ago. I tried to describe the changes in the [[WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size|size project page]]...

==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). However, I don't understand the point of Category:Vim editor.  Does WikiIndex really need Category:Vim editor? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 12:59, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

:In my opinion, the wiki should have 'Vim editor' as main topic. Each main topic is made a category automatically. Categories are light-weight. What do think of this? regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 16:36, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

==[[Rosetta Code]]==

We've grown a bit.  Could you update our page count on WikiIndex?  I don't remember the metric WI uses, I just remember it's not the same as how we count our own pages. (For our count, any subcategory of [http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Solutions_by_Programming_Language Category:Solutions by Programming Language] would be counted as a page, in addition to articles in the [http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Encyclopedia encyclopedia] tree and the [)http://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Programming_Tasks task] articles themselves.)  Whatever happened to the talk of updating via a page on the remote site? -- [[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 03:02 EST (GMT -0500)

:::Re: biggest wikiFactor. The 'raw' data for [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] is not publicly available, but I suspect their wikiFactor is huge. The most popular wiki on [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]] is [[WoWWiki]], which  has a wikiFactor of 187. With regards to "one cat for each individual factor", perhaps some ''pseudo''-logarithmic grouping would be more appropriate.

Hallo Wolf! Da hat Sir Winfried doch ganze Arbeit mit seinem Englisch-Unterricht geleistet. Habe Deinen Namen bei den Unterzeichnern der Petition gefunden (ich auch Nr.12337). Habe Dich danach "gegoogelt". Es grüßt Dich ein alter Klassenkamerad von der TMS in Halle.

Dear Wolf, I seem to be having problems with the user [[User:Jonah Musto|Jonah Musto]]. Repeated [[vandal]]ism of the Main Page, as well as  

insertion of warning templates on my [[User talk:Spud Gun#Ping | talk]] page. All the best --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User talk:Spud_Gun |talk]]) 10:50, 19 August 2009 (EDT) (PS I have also copied this message on the talk page of [[User talk:Proxima Centauri#User:Jonah Musto |Proxima Centauri ]]).

I have experience mainly acting as an [[administrator]] on controversial wikis where it's not usual to assume good faith and you probably have more experience than I do about assuming good faith. Please bear in mind that as Wikiindex grows the wiki will become better known and will attract more spammers, [[vandal]]s and trolls.

:Sounds great ;-) - you didn't add substancial content to this wiki, what's your problem? --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 09:40, 7 November 2009 (EST)

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 [[:Category:Wikia|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 [[vandal]]ism. If you believe that ext does harm to the wiki or it compromises any privacy..pleaseeee..you may happily remove it.. :)..--[[User:Comets|Comets]] 20:00, 24 November 2009 (EST)

:Not a good idea in my opinion. Better do this: look at recent changes und you'll see who's really onlione. Admins are often visible by their housekeeping activities. :-) Greetings --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 10:13, 25 November 2009 (EST)

==TV Show or Television?==

:I think TV Show is more specific. Should 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 surely prefer [[:Category:Television]] (or Category:TV?).

==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 . . .

Hi Wolf, can you please add [https://en.Wikinews.org Wikinews] to the [[Interwiki map|interwiki table]] . . . or allow me to [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=interwiki amend] the interwiki table?  I noticed many of the interwiki settings are only for the [[:Category:Wiki English|English language]] versions of [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia]] projects . . . any reason why?  Do you think we ought to add other Wikimedia [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] interwikis?

I also noticed we have a suspicious user - [[User:Evan|Evan]] who is a [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=sysop sysop] - yet they havn't made a single [[Special:Contributions/User:Evan|contribution]] to WikiIndex (their [[User:Evan|user page]] was edited by an [[Special:Contributions/72.153.160.160|IP address]] - which ''may'' have been the same person who forgot to log in).  Should this user still be retained as a [[sysop]]?  Best regards, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • _{[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]} • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 00:44, 14 October 2012 (PDT)

:I added you to the [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&group=interwiki interwiki group] and removed [[User:Evan|Evan]] from the [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=sysop sysop group]. The actual [[Special:Interwiki|Interwiki]] editing I prefer to leave to you :-) <br/>BTW: What do you think about the new version of the [[:File:StructuredDataGraph.png]], could be a little sharper, right? <br/> Best --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 13:45, 14 October 2012 (PDT)

::Thanks for adding me to the interwiki group :)  I've now added the Wikinews to the interwiki table . . . but I've noticed there are some on there which are not used, and we don't even have a page here on WikiIndex.  An example: search all parameters for "AnnotationWiki" and it fails to find any positive result, search for "seedwiki.com" (which is the url for AnnotationWiki) and again fails to find anything, and we have no article for Annotation Wiki — so should these types of entries be deleted, afterall, the interwiki table is supposed to be a shorthand way of helping editors here on WikiIndex, but if we have to scroll through a long list of un-used interwikis, it sort of defeats the object (of being able to quickly find the correct one)?!

Wie viele Anfragen gibt es denn so pro Tag/Woche/...? In der letzten Woche hat es ja '''scheinbar''' keinen einzigen neuen gegeben und jetzt gleich 5 an einem Tag.

:The last 5 new user account creation requests were ''on hold'' or ''rejected'', I reviewed them and tried to be as open-minded as possible (I'm not an experienced account manager). So I'm also not able to answer the question, how many requests we get per week. Currently, there is no pending request. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:02, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

I'm even less experienced ;-) Now, what means Help:Request account is '''on hold'''? And who can '''reject''' the request? Where reasons given? Is there any policy on how and when to reject? Are requesters notified if rejected? Is there any possibility for interested users to know about it? Can anybody mend the reasons? --[[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 14:28, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

:It's this [[mw:Extension:ConfirmAccount|Extension:ConfirmAccount]] at MediaWiki that was added to WikiIndex, but I don't know who and when.
