How Can You Measure a Wiki's Worth?

moldar writes "I have been involved in a major project to migrate documentation from multiple sources to a wiki (Media Wiki, if you must know). Now, the PHBs are all asking questions about how organized the data is. I've already googled for various wiki metrics ideas, but mostly they focus on page counts, average page sizes, rates of edits, etc. Can anybody suggest better ways of measuring the quality of a wiki? Things like uncategorized pages, articles that are too small, etc? Any help or fresh ideas would be appreciated."

I really don't know the best way to go about measuring a wiki, but I'd suggest not taunting it. It might get pissed and rip your arm off.

I don't know what the other questions are, but I guarantee the last one is "Where's the quickest place to get laid on a Friday night?"

I thought it was Happy Fun Ball(TM) that you were not supposed to taunt?
