WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size: Difference between revisions

{{WikiProject|Size}}

{{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!

According to the [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Talk:WikiProject:By_Size 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

  wiki_pages = 349 (in our [[Template:Size|Size Template]])

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

  <nowiki>{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}</nowiki> // ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}) [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Time]

Using the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/ParserFunctions parser funcions extension] <tt>#if</tt> or <tt>#switch</tt>, size and size categorization time could be auto-categorized for maintainance. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 14:11, 21 February 2007 (PST)

Now we have a new mechanism of caterorization von wikis by size. the [[Template:Size|size template]] has a new parameter <tt>wiki_pages</tt> the should be set to the page count, the wiki_size parameter is obsolete now. 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)]] &rarr; [[:Category:Wiki Size]]

** [[:Category:UnknownSize]] ''(it's well-known that the size is unknown)''

** ([[:Category:Empty]] &rarr; [[:Category:{{Empty}}]])

** <s>[[:Category:MoreThan5000000]]</s> &rarr; [[:Category:{{MoreThan5000000}}]]

=== "size classes" ===

;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 order:   (digits of ''lower_bound_page_count'' -1) &times; "0" + ''letter''

;where ''letter'' is depenfing on the most significant digit of ''lower_bound_page_count'':

== 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]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 12:22, 9 Mar 2006 (EST)
