Dear MediaWiki developers, I am wondering if it is possible to add the value of the wikiFactor for a MediaWiki site to the Special:Statistics page?
Unfortunately I have no php programming experience, so I am unable to suggest a modification myself, although I suspect that a simple do-wile loop with the correct parameters would suffice. =Background= The wikiFactor is a measure of the interest that a wiki site has received. For details see the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.3439 Its calculation is rather simple; one visits (for MediaWiki) the Special:PopularPages page. The wikiFactor (wF) is the page that has had more than 1000 x wF views. For example: here is an extract from a Special:Statistics page, the wikiFactor is 7: 6 Models (10,455 views) 7 Hard sphere model (10,447 views) 8 Computer simulation techniques (7,728 views) 9 Classical thermodynamics (7,621 views) i.e. page 7 has had more than 7,000 views, whilst page 8 has yet to reach 8,000 views. Presently the wikiFactor is being rolled-out on the wikiIndex site, a compendium of over 4,000 wiki sites. see: http://www.wikiindex.org/Category:WikiFactor All the best, carl >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dr. Carl McBride Grupo de Termodinamica Estadistica de Fluidos Moleculares Departamento de Quimica Fisica I Facultad de Ciencias Quimicas Universidad Complutense de Madrid 28040 Madrid Spain www.ucm.es/info/molecsim/carlmcbride.html www.SklogWiki.org >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
