Remove zikkir.com[edit]

I suggest to remove http://www.zikkir.com/words/, currently in third position. All random pages I examined were copied from either en.wikipedia or en.wiktionary. None of the pages had any attribution to the source so they break the license. Most pages were partially broken due to missing templates, missing images, interlanguage links shown as red links at the bottom, lots of red links which are blue in the Wikimedia pages, and various formatting errors. Compare for example http://zikkir.com/words/index.php?title=R._J._Swindle and w:R. J. Swindle. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:43, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Technically spoken, Zikkir is a wiki of its own, so it will remain in the statistics. We do not judge upon the content. RobiH (talk) 08:11, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata[edit]

Wikidata is still missing. Short before becoming the second biggist Wikis of all. And will be the biggist in a few weeks... Marcus Cyron (talk) 12:21, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coin Compendium[edit]

The Coin Compendium reached 53,000 content pages today. If size is a criteria for inclusion in this list, it is definitely one of the bigger ones. See the statistics:

https://www.coincompendium.com/w/index.php/Special:Statistics?action=raw

It's also a Semantic MediaWiki. It's probably one of just a handful of SMW wikis that are as big or bigger.

lyrics.wikia.com[edit]

Could someone in charge please fix LyricWiki? It checks for http://lyrics.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics&action=raw, which is of course wrong. It should check for http://lyrics.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics?action=raw, or even better http://lyrics.wikia.com/Special:Statistics?action=raw because LyricWiki does not use the /wiki/ compound. - LWChris (talk) 14:02, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately neither of the links ending in action=raw actually output "raw" numbers anymore, but instead the regular Special:Statistics text page. Instead we should use http://lyrics.wikia.com/api.php. Said that, the link you mention is not actually being used, either it's a glitch in what is displayed to you but not actually used by the update script or you got it from the old s23.org site or before a fix meanwhile.

List of largest other wikis[edit]

You're missing the largest Korean encyclopedia : http://www.doopedia.co.kr/ : 453k articles versus 236k for ko.Wikipedia. That's why Korean wiki stats are under-performing.

Adding Yellpedia[edit]

Hi, I'm the owner of a wiki called Yellpedia. The semantic mediawiki wiki of the month for May, 2013. Anyways we have a page count of over 10 Million that we imported via a script. Basically we had the entire United States Yellow Pages imported into a Mediawiki to be used as a base for everyone to come edit and add information. However since we didn't record every page to every MySQL table the internal wiki article count system has never worked right. Our size, however, can be easily checked by running a search, from the homepage, for STATE CA, which just for that search returns over 1 million pages. Our home page is Yellpedia.

Official location for noting corrections to the wikistats list?[edit]

Is there an official place to point out things that need to be corrected on the list this page is linking to? E.G. Fan History Wiki is defunct, websitewiki.wikia and the other *.websites.wikia wikis were deleted a while back and now redirect to the Wikia main page, and there are some wikis listed twice, like Chahaoba and WOW Wiki. --203.211.101.91 10:12, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
