• Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Index/Descriptions

This appears to be an abortive effort to write explanation paragraphs for the tags currently used by Module:Signpost. Are they still in use? Who the hell knows. jp×g 21:07, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Issue

THIS IS A TEMPLATE! But it's not in anything resembling templatespace. This is bad. It also has an assload of incoming links (2,420 transclusions to be precise). Looks like many of them (i.e. the userpage ones) are from {{Signpost-subscription}}.

Gottem. Now at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Issue as God intended. jp×g 00:07, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Template:Signpost-footer (6k+ xclusions) needs to be moved to /Templates/
• Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Quote (200-500 xc) needs to be at /Templates/

There are only a few pages under Wikipedia:Signpost/ but they all have a ton of transclusions/links

• @ Template:Signpost/item: "35,822 direct transclusions" although they seem to overwhelmingly from {{Signpost-subscription}}.

(has /testcases, /doc, /sandbox as well)

• @ Wikipedia:Signpost/Template:Signpost-article-comments-end: freaking 5,322
• @ Wikipedia:Signpost/Template:Signpost-article-comments-end/commentspage: 5,729

For each page in the Omni-index, an automated count of Special:WhatLinksHere entries, which will aid in spelunking. jp×g 04:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• links: how many pages links to the page
• redir: how many redirects point to the page
• xclud: how many transclusions the page has
• xc rd: how many transclusions of redirects (I think)
