WikiIndex:WikiProject - By Size

This project aims to add size categorization to WikiIndex. This 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!

Size categories are being renamed
According to the discussion contribution of user:69.87.199.67, I think, we should establish a way for auto-categorisation of size in certain way(s): by typing pages = 349 (in our Size template) in the Template:Size, the date can be obtained by // or similar (year-month-day). Using the parser funcions extension #if or #switch, size and size categorization time could be auto-categorized for maintainance. --Wolf | talk 14:11, 21 February 2007 (PST)
 * Wiki with 201 to 500 pages

Categorization scheme
We now have a new mechanism of categorization of wikis by size. The size template has a new field parameter –  – which should be used to set the actual 'good' page count (ie, not stubs, redirects, talk pages, etc). The original 'wiki_size' field parameter is now obsolete.

The size categories have also moved; the original categories will initially be transformed into redirects. In the following list, categories that have already emptied are striked out; and once they are emptied, will be deleted (and will therefore show as red links) to avoid any future misuse:

Category:Wiki Size (old style) → Category:Wiki Size
 * Wikis with unknown size — U
 * Category:YourWikiSize → Category:UnknownSize – the wiki size was not entered yet
 * Category:No realtime statistics – the wiki engine provides no real time statistics
 * Small wikis — S
 * Category:Empty → Category:Empty wiki – ie, 0 pages
 * Category:LessThan10 → Category:Wiki with 1 to 10 pages
 * Category:MoreThan10 → Category:Wiki with 11 to 20 pages
 * Category:MoreThan20 → Category:Wiki with 21 to 50 pages
 * Category:MoreThan50 → Category:Wiki with 51 to 100 pages
 * Medium wikis — M
 * Category:MoreThan100 → Category:Wiki with 101 to 200 pages
 * Category:MoreThan200 → Category:Wiki with 201 to 500 pages
 * Category:MoreThan500 → Category:Wiki with 501 to 1,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan1000 → Category:Wiki with 1,001 to 2,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan2000 → Category:Wiki with 2,001 to 5,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan5000 → Category:Wiki with 5,001 to 10,000 pages
 * Large wikis — L
 * Category:MoreThan10000 → Category:Wiki with 10,001 to 20,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan20000 → Category:Wiki with 20,001 to 50,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan50000 → Category:Wiki with 50,001 to 100,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan100000 → Category:Wiki with 100,001 to 200,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan200000 → Category:Wiki with 200,001 to 500,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan500000 → Category:Wiki with 500,001 to 1,000,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan1000000 → Category:Wiki with 1,000,001 to 2,000,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan2000000 → Category:Wiki with 2,000,001 to 5,000,000 pages
 * Category:MoreThan5000000 → Category:Wiki with more than 5,000,000 pages

"size classes"
The size classes are for better orientation against zero-blindness.
 * 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 name format: "Wiki with " + lower_bound_page_count + " to " + upper_bound_page_count + " pages"


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


 * where letter depends on the most significant digit of lower_bound_page_count:
 * A if most this digit is 5
 * B if most this digit is 2
 * C if most this digit is 1

Size data
We now have Template:Size. Its draft boilerplate is on its 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 | talk 12:22, 9 Mar 2006 (EST)

Size navigation
For navigation, the template:Wiki size navigation has been developed.
