The '''wikiFactor''' ('''wF''') is a measure of the 'popularity' of an individual [[wiki]] site. It is based on the Hirsch [[wp:H-index|h-index]], which is commonly used to measure the impact a scientist has had for their published works. The [[wikiFactor]] compliments the number of pages and total number of visits information. More details can be found in the preprint [http://arXiv.org/abs/0902.3439 'wikiFactor: a measure of the importance of a wiki site']. | The '''wikiFactor''' ('''wF''') is a measure of the 'popularity' of an individual [[wiki]] site.
