See

and maybe note with pleasure that we continue to
grow, with half a dozen new active contributors in
the last couple of months.

That's great news! The numbers made me wonder about the readership too
and I found that the wiki has had an average 4000 weekly pageviews
over the past month compared to an average of 800 a year ago. Here's a
graph: http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Pageviews_july_07_to_june_08.png

Unfortunately we don't yet have a way to make this information
publicly available on a regular basis but better stats tools are
something we're working on.

No agreement on what to call them, but Penelope
Blake's idea of category admins has produced the
spinoff idea of having projects where two or more
contributors can work closely together to improve
an aspect of the wiki.

Initial discussion is on
http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Project:Projects.
Please join it.

Now they have been updated (10 July) only a couple
of weeks after the last update. More good news and
another soundly-beaten record.

The number of Wikians who made more than five
edits in the month reached a record of 17 in May,
only just above the previous record, but leapt to
20 in June. Good work, all!

The number of Wikians who made more than one
hundred edits in the month was 6, which is equal
to the previous best in terms of human editors
(because the "7" for November 2007 included major
work by PhloxBot).

http://genealogy.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:%22Victoria%22
has seen no disagreement since its creation about
a week ago.

Anyone have a problem with the idea that the wiki
can give the page called simply "Victoria" to the
Australian state containing over five million
people?

Wouldn't it make sense to place "Disambiguation:" before "Victoria"?

Fairly non-standard, Bill? Colons at the start can
lead to programmatical confusion.

The page to be called "Victoria (disambiguation)"
will  list all our Victorias (places and people),
being rather like a cut-down version of
Wikipedia's "Victoria" page. Our "Victoria" page
(for the state) will have a link to "Victoria
(disambiguation)" at the top, just as "London" has
a link to the corresponding disambig page.

I was under the impression that "Disambiguation:" was in fact a name  
space.  Seems to work as such.
As far as the specific instance is concern, its not an issue for me  
personally.
