== Parameters ==

; pages: number of pages (no thousands separator)

: ''alternative parameter names: "wiki pages", "wiki_pages"''

: this is a necessary parameter. It selects the [[:Category:Wiki Size|appropriate '''size category''']].

; statistics URL: external link to the wiki's statistics page

: ''alternative parameter names: "wiki statistics URL", "wiki_statistics_URL"''

: this is an optional parameter

; wikiFactor: plain value, see below for details

: this is an optional parameter. It selects the [[:Category:wikiFactor|appropriate '''wikiFactor category''']].

; wikiFactor URL: external link to the wiki page that contains the data base the wikiFactor was calculated from

: this is an optional parameter

 

== How to get size information ==

Most wiki engines provide statistics somewhere including a page count. Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on version)

#[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]: Replace <i>Special:Recentchanges</i> with <i>Special:Statistics</i>. There is a number called "Content pages" or sometimes "pages that are probably legitimate content pages" -- use that number. Ignore the (often much larger) "all pages in the wiki, including redirects" number.

:: We can also [http://s23.org/wikistats/addwiki/ add] MediaWiki listings to the http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php system which tracks various wiki stats

#[[:Category:MoinMoin|MoinMoin]]: Replace <i>RecentChanges</i> with <i>SystemInfo</i> or <i>System_Info</i>

#[[:Category:UseModWiki|UseModWiki]]: Replace <i>?RecentChanges</i> with <i>?action=index</i>

#[[:Category:Pbwiki|Pbwiki]]: Replace any page name with <tt>AllPages</tt>

#[[:Category:PhpWiki|PhpWiki]]: an option: Search for letter "e" in all Titles ''Is there a better way?''

#[[:Category:ProWiki|ProWiki]]: Replace <i>?RecentChanges</i> with <i>?action=spx</i>

#[[:Category:PmWiki|PmWiki]]: Search for / and scroll to the bottom (maybe searching for <tt>main/</tt> would be better)

#[[:Category:Tikiwiki|Tikiwiki]]: Replace ending <i>/tiki-lastchanges.php</i> with <i>/tiki-stats.php</i>

#[[:Category:Twiki|Twiki]]: Replace <i>/WebChanges</i> with <i>/WebIndex</i>

#[[:Category:Oddmuse|Oddmuse]]: In <i>RecentChanges</i> click on <i>1 day</i> and replace <i>?action=rc;days=1;all=0;showedit=0</i> with <i>?action=index</i>

#[[:Category:Wikispaces|Wikispaces]]: replace <i>/changes</i> ending the recent changes url with <i>/pagelist</i>

== How to calculate the wikiFactor of a site ==

The '''wikiFactor''' is a measure of the 'popularity' of a wiki-site. It is based on the Hirsch [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index h-index] which is commonly used to measure the impact a scientist has had in the literature. The wikiFactor complements 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  is simply the number of pages in the wiki (''wF'') that have had more than 1000 times ''wF'' visits.

A wikiFactor of, say, 12 means that page number 12 in the ranking of pages visited has received 12,000 or more visits, whereas

page 13 has not yet reached 13,000 visits.

If one counts the entries with <code>views > 1000*p</code> (highlighted in light green) one arrives at a  wikiFactor of 12 for WikiIndex.  

==== Where to look ====

Most wiki engines provide global statistics. Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on version)

#[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]: go to the ''Special:PopularPages'' page of the wiki

#[[:Category:MoinMoin|MoinMoin]]:

#[[:Category:UseModWiki|UseModWiki]]:

#[[:Category:Pbwiki|Pbwiki]]:

#[[:Category:PhpWiki|PhpWiki]]:

#[[:Category:ProWiki|ProWiki]]:

#[[:Category:PmWiki|PmWiki]]:

#[[:Category:Tikiwiki|Tikiwiki]]:

#[[:Category:Twiki|Twiki]]:

#[[:Category:Oddmuse|Oddmuse]]:

#[[:Category:Wikispaces|Wikispaces]]:  go to '''Manage Wiki''' on the lef-hand-side of the page, then click on the '''Tools: Wiki Statistics''' icon. Shift from the ''overview'' tab to the ''pages'' tab, then click on '''Views'''.

#[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]]: go to ''Special:Mostvisitedpages''

#wikimedia: ''Special:PopularPages'' seems to be unavailable. The "Top" sites option at [http://stats.grok.se/ stats.grok.se] can be used for Wikipedias, but needs to be summed on a per-month basis.

If your site uses [[Wikipedia:Google Analytics|Google Analytics]], you can go to "Content/Top Content" and select the entire date range to get a count of pageviews for each page. If you started using Analytics partway through, and stopped collecting your wiki engine's standard statistics at the same time, you may be able to merge the two numbers.
