Forum:Searching and sorting issues

I put my searching and sorting questions together:
 * 1. How can I get a prefix to display in the pagname, without having the prefix in the pagename for sorting purposes? : Background: My wikia, The Top 10, has lists of Top 10s in any subject... In order to have alphabetic sorting NOT all lumped under "T", I've adopted the naming convention where "The Top 10" is NOT part of the article/page name.  e.g. "The Top 10 Guitarists" pagename is "Guitarists]]".  However, I think the readers prefer to see the prefix "The Top 10" in the page title; 99.5% of the Top 10 pages will be Top 10 lists, with the others "stubs".  It seems this is a common convention and syntax in Wikipedia, but not a feature in Wikia. --Dreams2go 12:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)  p.s. in this example the prefix I want is also the SITENAME.


 * 2. How can I add a prefix, i.e. "The Top 10", in the meta data for the xml/html header, for purposes of searching for the page(s) in Google or Qwika, the wiki search engine? Or what can I do to get included in Google search results? : I've tried testing searches, and these pages simply don't appear. I've tried various examples, but here's an example so obsure I expected Google or Qwika to find it. Searching for the "Top 10 Things a Teenage Boy Wants for his Birthday" I searched these 3 different strings in both Qwika and Google: 1- Things a Teenage Boy Wants for his Birthday; 2- Top 10 Things a Teenage Boy Wants for his Birthday; and 3- "Top 10" "Things a Teenage Boy Wants for his Birthday".  Each came up with different volumes, but I went 30 pages deep in reviewing search results, per search per Google/Qwika, before giving up.  This is extremely discouraging.  How to build a community on a desert island no one will ever find? (except a couple vandals seemed to find it.) (btw, I know the xml in the source for concatenates the SITENAME as a suffix to the article pagename.) --Dreams2go 12:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * 3. Is there an easy/scripted way to automatically add keywords and other info to the meta data in the page header of an article? : Again, the problem I'm trying to solve is to increase visibility on Google, Qwika, and other searches. Meanwhile, I have no previous experience xml/html page header, but have looked at the source.  For many Top 10 topics, I've also added links where appropriate from a related Wikipedia article. --Dreams2go 12:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * 4. Is Wikia.com, the company, doing anything to help provide visibility or are all the wikia on their own? : Is there/Can a strength in numbers strategy by Wikia help to increase the exposure to Wikia wikis? --Dreams2go 12:45, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
