Rounding down to the nearest multiple

This may be some kind of mini-proposal but I see it as a bit too insignificant to make a whole fuss about it by making it a whole talk page proposal about it. Frankly, why can't we round down to 50 for 100-999 and to 100 for 1000+ (I mean it seems unrealistic but the chance is there)? Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 19:36, April 6, 2026 (UTC)

We determined the numbers to round down to, admittedly, rather arbitrarily, based on what we thought illustrated things best. With how often Unused Files has been trapped on multiples of 50, though, we'd be fine to maybe adjust it a bit. Something like rounding down to 50 for numbers 100-500, and rounding down to 100 for numbers 500+? (We're genuinely unsure if MediaWiki can handle caching more than a thousand, as it only bothers displaying the top 1000 for wanted pages.)

Rounding to 50 for 100-500 if the cache can't go higher than 1000 actually seems like a good idea to me. I always thought it was a little unnecessary for relatively big numbers to be rounded down to 100+. 150+ just makes more sense so it's not too far off.

Gonna go ahead and implement this. We don't particularly feel like this needs proposing, as the original intervals were. Entirely our invention, just as a little formless style guide in our own head, and this feels like a pretty obvious addition to them. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 17:35, April 8, 2026 (UTC)
