EG Redesign - Ideas and Suggestions?

[administrator]

So - as one of the admins who has been very resistant to the idea of converting to a wiki - and to throw my 2c into the mix on this:

Taking the easiest bit first - IIRC someone on the discord or here ran a script or the like to do a page count and it came back that we have something around 4500 pages in the EG.

I wonder how hard it would be for it to measure article length in word count by that same means.

While I was writing the above comment I asked on Discord, and it was Tasp who did that. They said "Probably pretty easy to get at least ballpark numbers for each article. I'll play with it when I get back to my personal machine". So we might be able to find out soon.

I ran some DB queries - we have 5213 articles and 340 topics, totalling around 3.5 million words. The word count is a bit vague because it's non-trivial to separate actual words of content from some of the markup and stuff like image names.
