Why is it that when I am on my holiday Wikidot servers crash? It is kind of a rule. Bad karma, shame on the unkind hardware.

I love the cloud. "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL". Yeah. I'd better backup my data now!

Yesterday I noticed a significant milestone of Wikidot.com compared to Wikipedia.org:
Wikidot has more pages than the english version of Wikipedia!
As of today:
- Wikidot.com: 2 773 120 pages
- Wikipedia.org (en): 2 683 000+ articles
The Wikipedia quote is taken directly from http://www.wikipedia.org and I am not sure how many the "+" stand for.
Comparing Wikidot to Wikipedia would be bold for a couple of reasons, e.g.
- Wikipedia is THE free online encyclopedia
- Wikipedia has much more traffic to their pages
- I am sure Wikipedia has more revisions per page, more content in pages
- It is a completely different project with different goals
The raw comparison of number of pages points however the scale we are approaching in Wikidot. Piotr has a couple of great posts recently about scalability, search indexing and similar stuff related to Wikidot.
Tasks that are really simple when you have a couple of documents, like a wiki with 1 000 pages with a few visitors, can become extremely difficult when you have 3 million of documents and 3-4 million visitors each month, fetching pages 35 million times per month and making half million edits each month.

That's right.
Wikidot is BIG and we have to deal with problems that would normally just not pop out.
Having more pages than Wikipedia is great, but is also a great responsibility. We have to pass the test, and we are going to do it.Satisfaction of our user is our best reward you all our afford.
