Copying integer sequences in the wiki is useful for wiki searches

The advantage of copying integer sequences in wiki pages is that Extension:MWSearch/Extension:Lucene-search can find wiki pages from sequence terms! Now that you removed the sequence

{1, 6, 1, 8, 0, 3, 3, 9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 9, 8, 9, 4, 8, 4, 8, 2, 0, 4, 5, 8, 6, 8, 3, 4, 3, 6, 5, 6, 3, 8, 1, 1, 7, 7, 2, 0, 3, 0, 9, 1, 7, 9, 8, 0, 5, 7, 6, 2, 8, 6, 2, 1, 3, 5, 4, 4, 8, 6, 2, 2, ...}

doing the wiki search with 1, 6, 1, 8, 0, 3, 3, 9, 8, 8, 7, 4, 9, 8, 9

https://oeis.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=1%2C+6%2C+1%2C+8%2C+0%2C+3%2C+3%2C+9%2C+8%2C+8%2C+7%2C+4%2C+9%2C+8%2C+9&fulltext=Search

doesn't find the Golden ratio page.

For example, try the wiki search with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 19, 22, 27, 31, 41, 53, 72, 99, 118, 130, 152

https://oeis.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=0%2C+1%2C+2%2C+3%2C+4%2C+5%2C+7%2C+10%2C+12%2C+19%2C+22%2C+27%2C+31%2C+41%2C+53%2C+72%2C+99%2C+118%2C+130%2C+152&fulltext=Search

the first search result that you get is Riemann zeta function, because the sequence is on the page (admittedly you have to do some scrolling to find where) in the section

Riemann zeta function#Peaks of the absolute value of the Riemann zeta function along the critical line

where it is the first sequence listed, A117536.

That's why I've been copying integer sequences in the wiki! Should I stop doing so? — Daniel Forgues 03:31, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Category named after the page

I don't do this anymore, since the time that I was told not to do so, although I've been doing it for quite a long time since the beginning of the wiki. The original purpose of making a category named after the page was to categorize sequences when they where in the wiki, which was the case in the beginning until they were pulled out, so that the [former] OEIS Wiki page A001622 (previously deleted) was categorized in Category:Golden ratio, where the Golden ratio page was the main page of the category, indexed under *, e.g. [[Category:Golden ratio|*]].

The value is available at WolframAlpha as "GoldenRatio".--Bill McEachen 22:51, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
