What's the magic word for the number of Wiki's on Wikia?-- 22:02, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't believe there is one, But I will check for you. Seahorseruler  (Talk Page) 22:19, February 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you.-- 22:38, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Is there a way of getting this to auto-update?-- 20:51, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's also a graph here based on the API result. Angela (talk) 01:14, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

It does auto-update. Right now it says  though I find it surprising that over 130 wikis were created in the last few hours. =/ That's unless, of course, it caches like other things on the server. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:23, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think that Thomas want a magic word for this to put on some page he's doing. — TulipVorlax 04:58, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Brandon, no, thats correct, there were that many made in that time. We get between 200 and 300 new wikis per day. Take a look at Special:Newwikis --Uberfuzzy 00:47, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

There's never going to be that magic number. The number will increase every single day. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 08:29, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Magic word" as in or etc. Thomas here wants one of these that can count wikis. Unfortunately, to my knowledge it does not exist. You can however check the number of wikis, shown above.  Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 08:47, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

Tulip and Wjxhuang, you're absolutely right! That's exactly what I'm after.-- 12:59, February 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe someone could make a JS script to extract the number from the XML api page and insert it in an element with a special ID on the page but i doubt someone would be willing to put that much effort into this and i'm really not a JS expert. — TulipVorlax 22:01, February 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you were doing it in javascript, it would be easier to use the JSON output format from the API, not XML --Uberfuzzy 00:47, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Said XML because the link on the API word up there show us XML. All i know about JSON is that they use some in Piwik. — TulipVorlax 05:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Here you can test a live example of a JavaScript implementation: --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 10:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
