Reduce noise
The "rank" table should, if possible, exclude the biggest wiki farms to reduce noise. --Nemo 07:36, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree. Probably best by adding standalone and farm website count properties to extension pages, then querying/sorting by those (this would remove all farms, not just big ones). Probably also worth splitting some of the reports into farm and non-farm. I'll put it on my to do list, unless someone pops by to disagree/give an alternate plan.--ete (talk) 09:58, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, though I do not think that we should remove all farms. "Industry strength" starts probably at about 100 wikis. However splitting into farms and standalone wikis will indeed be nice. Another nasty thing is that currently even the stats for defunct wikis appear in the list. This should be tackled, too while we are at it. --&#91;&#91;kgh&#93;&#93; (talk) 19:11, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * By "biggest" I meant those above 1000 wikis. If, say, wiki-site has 2500 wikis with $random_extension that's not particularly interesting. :) --Nemo 19:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Cutting out defunct wiki stats is also a good idea, will do. It would be possible to leave in small farms, but imo it would be much neater to have standalone, farm, and total stats, and just decide to display the standalone stats first (with links to farm stats, or a table below). Leaving in just language farms or small farms is an option, but I think it would overcomplicate things (e.g. labels, queries, property names), and farms have a kind of disproportionately huge impact. I think separating out farms fully likely would leave interesting but rarely used extensions (because no big farm has picked them up) higher in the ratings, and farm ratings would be available too if people are interested in that.--ete (talk) 19:36, 20 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Makes sense to me. :) Do whatever is easier for you. --Nemo 19:49, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
