ω, or the WikiWork factor, is a metric for assessing the current status of articles. ω is the number of classes a WikiProject is away from having all articles be featured. The formula for obtaining ω is:

ω = a + 2g + 3b + 4s + 5t

where a is A-class articles, g is GA-class articles, b is B-class articles, s is start-class articles, and t is stub-class articles.

[edit] Current metrics

As of 19:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC) ω = 42888.

Other ω-derived statistics are:

  • relative ω, or Ω (\frac{\omega}{number~of~articles}): 4.569
  • ω per capita (\frac{\omega}{number~of~editors}, currently 118): 363.46
  • ω per subproject (\frac{\omega}{number~of~subprojects}, currently 35): 1225.37
  • 400 classes above Wikipedia as a whole (\omega-(\Omega_{wikipedia}*number~of~articles))

[edit] Computing the metrics

These metrics are computed by hand using a spreadsheet made in KSpread 1.6.3. One can compute the statistics themselves very easily using the equations above, or you can use this form to get the statistics. However, when manually computing the metrics, be sure to include FAs in the total number of articles, even though they counts zero in the total stats.
