[edit] __NEWSECTIONLINK__ or {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} alternative in 1.6.10?

is there any alternative to __NEWSECTIONLINK__ or {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} in 1.6.10?

[edit] PAGESINCATEGORY doesn't work on my site.

I cannot seem to get the PAGESINCATEGORY magic word to work. My wiki treats it like its a Template.
Is there a setting that needs to be set somewhere to make it work? My Wiki Version is 1.13.1
I note that it works here: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Help}} = 57

[edit] PAGENAME, titleparts and categories

I'm trying to create a template that:

• Auto-categorizes the including page
• Sorts on the page name, but with a leading sub-page element stripped (e.g. "A/B/C" becomes "B/C")

What I have so far is something like:

<noinclude>[[Category: {{{catname|General}}} | {{{catsort|{{#titleparts: {{subst:PAGENAME}} | 0 | 2 }} }}} ]]</noinclude>

This fails because of the inclusion/substitution order, but for the life of me, I can't get the right ordering of <noinclude>...</noinclude> and subst: that works for this. Can someone help me out, here and either point me to somewhere that #titleparts is used with PAGENAME in a template or show me an example that's otherwise known to work? Thanks. -Harmil 20:48, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS

Not much explanation on this - what is the definition of an active user? Based on number of edits / views? How recent? --Robinson Weijman 09:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

/includes/SiteStats.php

$activeUsers = $dbr->selectField( 'recentchanges', 'COUNT( DISTINCT rc_user_text )',
	array( 'rc_user != 0', 'rc_bot' => 0, "rc_log_type != 'newusers' OR rc_log_type IS NULL" ),
	__METHOD__ );

It scrapes the recent changes table, so this depends on your Manual:$wgRCMaxAge setting. Splarka 08:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
