divisions by 5

Hello. An edit war begins ? I put a message [1] on User talk:Prince Kassad, with no answer, just a revocation [2]  :-( A sad way to begin 2008. Alvaro 13:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, following this discussion on User talk:Alvaro... divisions by 5 look like a false good idea ;D Alvaro 13:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Add language code as id= value

Hi. I'd suggest to add the language code as an id to table rows like so:

|- id="en"
| 1
| [[w:English language|English]] 
| ....

with the net effect that we can append #zxx to the URl of this page and have our browser instantly jump to the language having the code zxx, our favorite, presumably. --Purodha Blissenbach 20:38, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. And it may also be useful for other statistics of wikis by size, such as List of Wiktionaries/Table, Wikiversity, etc. --Kanjy 09:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

New 9 Wikipedias.

We have 9 new Wikipedias: ext, gan, hif, kaa, mdf, myv, sah, srn, and szl. How can we notify the maintainer of the script collecting the current data to please add these? --Purodha Blissenbach 23:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Script broken

The script that generates this page appears to be broken, it keeps listing 0 admins for all wiki. Also it generates corrupt characters for the gothic wiki. --151.203.77.144 07:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

The number of images is also wrong. --88.90.192.177 18:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

who let duplicated languages

Please, people when update table information let duplicated language. when the language changes of position, it has passed an opportunity in which it has harmed the count, exceeding in one the real number of wikipedias. Please don't let duplicated language information!!!. Crazymadlover

Remove closed Wikipedias from the list?

Some Wikipedia sites have been closed. Its contents have been moved to Incubator (f.e. 'hz') or moved to another provider (f.e. 'tokipona'). I think these entries should be removed from the list. Alternatively, all incubator projects should be added to this list, and links for closed projects should be changed to point to the main pages on Incubator or elsewhere.

I agree with closed wikis removal. I am not sure about pointing to Incubator (maybe if new designated section was created in the bottom?). I am against linking to other providers - once it's not Foundation's project, it should not be on the list of Foundation's projects.

I agree with you Danny. Crazymadlover

Afaics, all relevant wikis hosted elsewhere are mentioned in the Deprecated, moved and other section. Imho that suffices.

Including incubator projects may be nice, but I doubt obtaining good counts automatically would be working at the moment. Possibly, an incubator statistics page should be generated and maintained on-wiki? We link to it, or occasionally copy it. --Purodha Blissenbach 18:34, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
