WikiApiary talk:Operations/2013/September

MediaWiki updated to 1.21.2
Just as the subject says, I just updated to 1.21.2. I also did a fresh git pull of all extensions. Error log is clean and doesn't show anything having big issues, but if you see anything acting poorly please let me know. 🐝 thingles (talk) 14:18, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

More than 9K active wikis tracked
Today WikiAPIary exeeded the 9,000 wiki mark! --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 17:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been meaning to add all sorts of counts and leaderboards. This prompted me to add Property:Has website number. It looks like Flehite Wiki is wiki number 9,373 in WikiApiary! (This includes sites marked defunct, which I think is probably fine. Otherwise the number will change over time and that might be confusing.) 🐝 thingles (talk) 17:26, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually Primus Database is 9,413 . :-) 🐝 thingles (talk) 17:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you are right. I slightly changed the subject line to make things more precise. :) --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki Installer Pinging to other sites
Mark and I have had a couple of emails on the idea of the MediaWiki installer being able to send a ping that sites like WikiApiary could receive to automatically add new wikis. I think it's a stellar idea. Today Mark put the bugs in to get this rolling. It would be great if others could add votes, comments and such to show there is definitely support for this.
