Template:Lengthlink
Usage
The template {{lengthlink | title | class | length}} is used on WikiProject pages in order to enhance links to articles with an indication of the article's length. The template accepts three parameters, which are positional (not named parameters). The parameters are:
- title - the title of the page to link to
- class - an integer number between 0 and 10 (inclusive), used for the little bar graph shown next to the link
- length - the length of the page, number of characters. This is displayed in the link title which most browsers show on mouse-over.
A useful value for the class can be computed using the formula int(log($length/50.0)/log(2.0)), which gives the following intervals:
Class Length0 0..99 characters
1 100..199 characters
2 200..399 characters
3 400..799 characters
4 800..1599 characters
5 1600..3199 characters
6 3200..6399 characters
7 6400..12799 characters
8 12800..25599 characters
9 25600..51199 characters
10 51200 characters or more
Example: The page Dan Andersson is 4962 characters long and falls in size class 6.
The template is used thus: {{ lengthlink | Dan Andersson | 6 | 4962 }}
This will be displayed like this: 
Dan Andersson
If you mouse-over the bar graph, a text is shown that explains the exact length.
BUGS: Length is not the same as quality. But since we don't know how to compute the quality of an article, the length can be a useful indicator in some situations. This template does not allow alternative link text (as in [[link | text]].
