Counting by 1,000s
For the top wikis section, we've been updating the list when a wiki reaches the next 500 articles. What do you guys think about just making it 1,000? The 500s don't feel as impressive to me -- "more than 58,500 articles" doesn't sound as good as "more than 58,000 articles". Also, I think it gives people the impression that we count by 100s; I regularly fix the page when someone adds a 700.

The next 1,000 articles is an exciting goal -- and for many of the wikis on this page, it's something that comes up pretty regularly. Would anyone object if I rounded everything down to 1,000s? -- Danny (talk ) 18:57, January 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know I've only left this for a day, but what the heck, I'm gonna be bold and make this change. If anybody has an opinion about it, feel free to post it and we'll talk about it... -- Danny (talk ) 02:28, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea. Joey (talk) 02:46, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds ok, we should also consider making different language versions to allow the bigger German, Spanish, French, etc wikis to show off their bigness. I've noticed instances where some of those were added to this listing. -- 03:45, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Laugh out loud
I was doing my monthly check on wiki articles (I don't know why I'm interested), and the Turtledove wiki has 4,999 articles. . . Should I give it a star or wait? Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 22:03, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just wait; its time will come. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok. It is very strange. . . Thanks, TimeMaster Talk Main Contribs 18:30, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Non-English wikis
Polish shadowrun wikia has 4000+ pages. Can it be included here? --Dinki 19:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the requirement is 2,500 articles or more. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 01:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * How to do it? Where should I apply? :) --Dinki 20:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Just add it to the article; there isn't any need to apply. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 20:42, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, this page is just meant for the English wikis. I don't think there's a page for Big wikis on the Polish version of Central, but it would be a great thing to create! -- Danny (talk ) 21:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

WikiIndex
More of these (including this wiki) should be on http://www.wikiindex.org/Category:Wiki_with_20%2C001_to_50%2C000_pages (and the categories each side of that?). — Robin Patterson (Talk) 04:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

New Icon for 10,000+
Perhaps a new icon for wiki's attaining an excess of 10,000 articles or more? Square for 2500, Star for 5000, something new for 10000. Bonziiznob 14:51, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

LyricWiki
Since LyricWiki joined with a freakin' 880,000 articles, maybe that one should be added? Mark (Tedjuh10) - Talk 23:10, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

World of Warcraft
The information still says that it is the biggest wiki even though it is now outranked by two wikis. Solar Dragon  ( Talk ) 08:37, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

The Sims Wiki
Shouldn't The Sims Wiki be one of them? They are a very big wiki.--Bleeh 02:24, January 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Sims Wiki has 3,700 pages -- a nice big wiki, but not one of the biggest. They're listed on the page. -- Danny (talk ) 02:41, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
