: The most important criterion is licensing: you must use a Creative Commons by-nc-sa licence. Then, the next criterion is activity: you must have enough articles and users to show that the project won't become dormant. This has happened to one previous applicant - after more than a year of being open, there were only 125 articles or so. Of course, numbers may be boosted by bot-created articles, but in the end it's the users that determine the success or failure of a wiki. Therefore, Encyclopaediae does not usually accept applications from newly-created or not-yet-public wiki projects: it is hard to gauge the potential at such an early stage. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 02:51, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

::Thank you for the reply. I've got two stupid questions more:
::#If/when I create that wiki, can I get the code for those miscellanous parser hooks? I'm sure they'd be useful.
::#Secondly, how much disk space Bulbapedia takes currently?
