GERG SCALE DEPARTMENT

The Gerg Scale has been created to describe how much work and effort has been brought into a project. Inspired by the Bortle scale, this scale has been created in 2025. It is still a work in progress—though—great progress has been made. It has a placement of Insignificant in the Gerg Scale.

The Gerg Scale Legend   Immortal (8-9)   Major (7-7.9)   Notable (6-6.9)   Proper (5-5.9)   Median (4-4.9)   Insignificant (3-3.9)   Tiny (2-2.9)   Minimal (1-1.9)   Not created (0)   Unknown (???)

How To Find Your Placement in the Gerg Scale

Immortal

In jokes

$P=8+(y/u)$

For $P$ being the placement, $y$ being the years its been active, and $u$ being the years since Uncyclopedia has existed.

So, for example, Fisher Price! First being created in 2006, that means the in joke has been around for 19 years! So, our formula becomes:

$P=8+(19/20)$

which becomes:

$P=8+0.95$

which equals:

$P=8.95$

So Fisher Price's position is 8.95.

Let's do another example! How about MOCCASINS. Being created in 2024, that means our formula becomes:

$P=8+(1/20)$

which becomes:

$P=8+0.05$

which equals:

$P=8.05$

So Moccasin's position is 8.05.

UnGames

The formula for getting the placement for UnGames is... well... complicated.

$P=8+(T/100)+(A/8000)+(I/100)+(Y/U)$

With $P$ being the placement, $T$ being the amount of templates, $A$ being the amount of pages, $I$ being the amount of images, $Y$ being the years since creation, and $U$ being how long Uncyclopedia was made.

• If there are over twenty-five templates, then ${(T/100)=1/4}$.
• If there are over two thousand pages, then ${(A/8000)=1/4}$.
• If there are over twenty-five images, then ${(I/100)=1/4}$.

So let's use Make it to Ketchikan as an example! It has:

• Over twenty five templates, so ${(T/100)=1/4}$.
• One thousand nine-hundred fifty pages, so ${(1950/8000)}$.
• Over twenty five images, so ${(I/100)=1/4}$.
• Has been created in 2024, so ${(Y/U)=(1/20)}$.

So our final formula for MITK is:

$P=(1/4)+(1950/8000)+(1/4)+(1/20)$

Which, once simplified, turns into:

$P=8+0.25+0.24375+0.25+0.05$

Which turns into:

$P=8.79375$

Round that to the nearest hundredth, and that equals:

$P=8.79$

So Make it to Ketchikan has a placement of 8.79.

Major

Articles

Since your article in on the Top 10 of some year, the formula of your article revolves on how many votes it got.

$P=7+(V/H-0.01)$

With $P$ being the placement, $V$ being the amount of votes it got, and $H$ being the highest amount of votes that year.

This actually works with any voting system! Well, all the voting systems we've done so far. Let's do some examples. Let's do Sun' from 2011.

Let's fill our equation:

$P=7+(14/16-0.01)$

Which becomes:

$P=7+0.865$

Which becomes:

$P=7.865$

So Sun's placement is 7.865.

Let's do another example, from the forum era. Let's do UnTunes:Come In My Face.

Let's fill our equation:

$P=7+(4/4-0.01)$

Which becomes:

$P=7+0.99$

Which becomes:

$P=7.99$

So UnTunes:Come In My Face's placement is 7.99.

Okay, final example. Let's do This page does NOT exist! From 2024.

Let's fill our equation:

$P=7+(52/96-0.01)$

Which becomes:

$P=7+0.531666...$

Which becomes:

$P=7.531666...$

Round, and then you get:

$P=7.5317$

So This page does NOT exist is 7.5317.
