linksearch only supports about 20 projects
Hi. At http://tools.wikimedia.de/%7Eeagle/linksearch it says the extension supports about 50 wikipedia projects. When I see it going trough the search I see only 20 wikis in the list. I'm not sure how this works, but I haven't seen the Icelandic Wikipedia show up once, even when searching for links that I know are there. Any thoughts? --Steinninn 16:27, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Archive search
I'm wondering if it's feasible to set up an archive search option for b:WB:RR archives and b:WB:VFD archives. They are rather a mess, and almost impossible to search effectively at the moment. Let me know what you think at enbooks please. – Mike .lifeguard  &#124; @en.wb 03:08, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the answer to my help me....To try to explain further. I have used the citation, which you have suggested, but using it a bizillion times makes the text hard to read, and every time I say a town is ...this big...population I state as of 2006...which is also breaking up the reading...and then the footnote. Is there anyway to say the whole entire article populations are from the 2006 census and the citation once at the bottom of the article or paragraph or whathaveyou. I notice if one states town blah is 126,493 people (2006) with no citation and no (2006) it gets a tag, but when an article has many many places, the (2006) and citation get wearisome to the prose.

Linksearch
We really need some way of searching more than just the Wikipedias(!) using this tool. Some useful search options to consider adding:
 * 1) Top X Wikipedias/Wikibookses/...
 * 2) Top X wikis (ie any project, but just ordered by size)
 * 3) All languages of a project
 * 4) All projects of a language
 * 5) All projects of all languages
 * I know >700 wikis is a lot of server load, but it's currently not possible to search them collectively at all. If server load is a concern, you might simply slow down the query so it takes 5 minutes to generate a report. That'd reduce usage (as only people who really need to know will bother) and load.

I tried to add something to JIRA, but couldn't find your tools...? – <font color="Indigo">Mike .<font color="Indigo">lifeguard  &#124; <font color="Indigo">@en.wb 03:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
