== Size ==
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)
: 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)
 
== Using your name ==
 
Thanks, Wolf!!  [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 11:51, 20 October 2006 (EDT)
 
Yes, thanks Wolf! It is important for me to have a real person attached to a real name :-)  Best, [[MarkDilley]]
 
== tour bus ==
 
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)
::: 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)
::: 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! [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 17:12, 24 October 2006 (EDT)

== re: is it done? ==
 
I asked because I don't understand how to use the new template.  Can you show it to me on a live wiki page? [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 18:14, 25 October 2006 (EDT)
: look at [[Sandbox]] i used the WikiIndex as test Wiki one usage without any parameter set but the URL, one usage with all parameters set. --[[Wolf Peuker|Peu]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 18:17, 25 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)
 
Yes, that's what I meant.  Just copy/paste of the contents as an edit in the existing Wiki template history. [[TedErnst]] | <small>[[User talk:TedErnst|talk]]</small> 18:19, 26 October 2006 (EDT)
 
== Wiki/2, Wiki/3, Wiki/4 ==

==Wiki size==
 
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)
 
==C++==
 
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)

== 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 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]]). Regards, --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 17:16, 6 July 2007 (EDT)
 
 
Ok, The chaps at S23Wiki do seem to retrieve the raw stats on a daily basis (see [http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php?sort=good_desc,total_desc&th=100&lines=2026 WikiStats by S23]). --[[User:Spud Gun|Spud Gun]] 06:01, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

== [[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)
: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 [[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 [[WikiProject:By Size|size project page]]... (In the hope you are a German speaker -- it's your nick -- I can try to answer your questions better in german). Ask your more specific questions! was it that you did not found some wiki-description in the expected size category? regards, --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 13:14, 15 July 2007 (EDT)

== Re: DokuWiki-question ==
 
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?
 
-- [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 13:20, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
: 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)

== ein paar Fragen ==
 
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. Klingt etwas kurz angebunden, falls du weitere Fragen hast, nur zu! Gruß --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 05:39, 20 November 2007 (EST)

== 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.

Hi Wolf, I have had the habit since 2002 of keeping lists of wiki, when I got busy elsewhere, I only dumped on a page here. sorry :-(  I have a bookmark folder with at least 150 more... that I am holding off on adding here as a brain dump.  Best, [[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).
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 [[:Category:Vim editor|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)

:Done. 322 "good pages", it's currently a consensus on WikiIndex, to count only "pages that are probably legitimate content pages" for MediaWiki-based wikis. Greetings from Berlin --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 15:45, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

== Template:Size experimental ==
 
Dear Wolf, I have started an 'experimental' Size template [[Template:Size experimental]] that includes the [[Proposal:wikiFactor | wikiFactor]], but
I am not too good at template-markup. However, it looks like you do know what you are doing. Could you lend me a hand in getting the
template to work correctly? All the best --[[User:Spud Gun | <b><FONT COLOR="#8B3A3A">Carl McBride</FONT></b>]] ([[User_talk:Spud_Gun |talk]]) 12:31, 23 March 2009 (EDT)
: I would include the new parameter directly into [[template:size]], first without auto-categorizing. This can be added later. What is the highest wiki factor you've ever seen? I found mostly a value of one. Here is my highest wf-experience: http://wiki.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/Spezial:Popularpages. We should discuss the categorizing scheme. I think: one cat for each individual factor would be ok? Regards --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 03:49, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
:: Or even better: size and the new parameter should be integrated into [[template:wiki]]. You see: We need a task force of [[Special:Version|MediaWiki version 1.10.x]] template programmers.

:::Re: biggest wikiFactor. The 'raw' data for wikipedia is not publicly available, but I suspect their wikiFactor is huge. The most popular wiki on 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.

Fantastic work! Just one detail: could you replace wiki factor with wikiFactor (lower-case w, upper-case F, no space)? I don't want to mess up/break a template that is in general use!

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).
