[edit] Other wikipedias

Hi isn't it about time the other wikipedia count was updated at the bottom. German wikipedia now has 818,834 articles and to place it in a 300,000 column seems to be a bit of an understatement and not giving it credit. in comparison its like saying English wikipedia has over 1 million articles. At the very least an over 500,000 needs to be created. German, French, Italian, Japanese and Polish all have over 500,000 and Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese have over 400,000 Dr. Blofeld 11:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

From memory, the problem is the 300k category is already rather small as is. If you increase the minimum, we will end up with an even smaller category leading to greater imbalance in the section. The section isn't really intended to give 'credit' to anything (for starters, article quality may vary even tho we have excluded those with primary bot created stubs) nor to compare them to the English wikipedia (indeed many people have objected to the excessive emphasis we put on the number of articles we have). It's intended to direct readers to other wikipedias they may be interested in and the size was chosen as the simplest, fairest way to sort them that will be most meaningful to the reader. A category with 9 items should be easy to look through for the majority of readers, reducing it further isn't really necessary. At most, I would suggest 400k be the new tier. If people still feel we are being unfair, I suggest we just remove mention of the number of articles we have from that section (we already have it at the top). You may be interested to know that for the main ones, www.wikipedia.org has moved completely away from the article size sorting system and instead started sorting by popularity of the wikipedias.

[edit] Set new milestones

I'd propose removing the 50,000 article bracket and adding a 500,000 article bracket (example below). Alternatively, we could leave the 50k and add the 500k making a total of 5 tiers. 500,000 is a big milestone and I think it is worthy of mentioning. Thoughts?
