When searching on Commons results gives information about the size of pages. In most cases it is something like: 203 B (20 words) - 10:40, 14 February 2010 For images this is changed to the image size: 2,112×2,816 (2,681,964 bytes) - 02:26, 12 August 2009 For categories I think number of category members is a more useful measure of size. The info could be presented as: 123 category members (100 pages, 20 files, 3 subcategories) - 10:40, 14 February 2010
Created attachment 7202 [details] patch to display category sizes differently in search results
I made a patch to do this. (It is in standard MediaWiki, so changing component from Extensions.)
1. Numbers should go through $wgLang->formatNum(). 2. New message should go in messages.inc. 3. Minor nitpick: we usually say 'n pages', rather than 'n members'
Created attachment 7203 [details] a new patch where I tried to fix the mentioned problems Here is another try. *$wgLang->formatNum is used on numbers *The new message is added to messages.inc *It is not very important to me, but I choose the word "members" because (as far as I can see) the number is the total of pages, subcategories and files in the category. It is the same as the message 'nmembers' used in Special:Categories.
Applied in r65351. Thanks.
