Problem

I love the %COUNTFS% feature to set font sizes based on article usage. Could you create a similar feature based on article linking: how many other articles link to it?

This would let us create tag clouds where the font size gets larger for the most highly-linked articles (those found in Special:Mostlinked or Special:Mostlinkedcategories).

Imaginary example with new keyword addlinkcounter and new variables %LINKFS% and %LINKCOUNT%, showing the categories with the most articles: 

<DPL>
  namespace = Category
  addlinkcounter = true
  format = ,<font size="%LINKFS%">[[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]] (%LINKCOUNT%)</font>,&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp;,
 </DPL>

This is definitely a good idea! But I do not have time to work on it. Can you program? Can you do it? Gero 00:37, 23 April 2008 (CEST)

I see there's already a way to do this if you have some parser functions installed. Maiden taiwan 17:18, 23 April 2008 (CEST)
