===Magic words=== | |||
These poorly-defined magic words provide easy answers to the amount of content on the wiki. However, unless they are based on something logical, they are completely useless. | |||
'''NUMBEROFPAGES''': {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} | |||
MW code says: Simply count all entries in page table. | |||
Iritscen says: What gives, MW? This number is higher than the total of files, articles, and talk pages, so what the #$^& is the software looking at? Totally unhelpful. | |||
Redirects | '''NUMBEROFARTICLES''': {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} | ||
MW code says: Get all entries in page table are in content namespaces (see $wgContentNamespaces) and are not redirects, then get distinct count of entries in pagelinks table, pl_from field, that match those page ids. | |||
Iritscen says: Supposedly this does not count pages which have no inter-wiki links in them, and the code seems to verify that. One would expect that this number would therefore be agree with PAGESINNS when one subtracts the pages listed on [[Special:DeadendPages]]; however, there were 107 dead-end pages as of 4/22/12. Adding these back in still leads to a lower result than using PAGESINNS less redirects, so I consider it too suspect to use. | |||
'''PAGESINNS''', AKA PAGESINNAMESPACE: These counts agree with the number of pages displayed for that namespace on the [[Special:AllPages]] page, which provides some much-needed verifiability. However, since Allpages counts redirects and subpages, that means that PAGESINNS does too. Therefore, we also can't use a straight sum of PAGESINNS results as our page count. | |||
PAGESINNS breakdown: | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:-2}}''' has ID -2, but we can't get a page count, so we can assume it's not part of the above counts | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:-1}}''' has ID -1, but we can't get a page count, so we can assume it's not part of the above counts | |||
*Namespace '''Main''' does not return an ID number, but apparently it's 0, because <nowiki>{{PAGESINNS:0}}</nowiki> returns {{PAGESINNS:0}} pages, which agrees with [[Special:AllPages]] | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:1}}''' has ID 1 and {{PAGESINNS:1}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:2}}''' has ID 2 and {{PAGESINNS:2}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:3}}''' has ID 3 and {{PAGESINNS:3}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:4}}''' has ID 4 and {{PAGESINNS:4}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:5}}''' has ID 5 and {{PAGESINNS:5}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:6}}''' has ID 6 and {{PAGESINNS:6}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:7}}''' has ID 7 and {{PAGESINNS:7}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:8}}''' has ID 8 and {{PAGESINNS:8}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:9}}''' has ID 9 and {{PAGESINNS:9}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:10}}''' has ID 10 and {{PAGESINNS:10}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:11}}''' has ID 11 and {{PAGESINNS:11}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:12}}''' has ID 12 and {{PAGESINNS:12}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:13}}''' has ID 13 and {{PAGESINNS:13}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:14}}''' has ID 14 and {{PAGESINNS:14}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:15}}''' has ID 15 and {{PAGESINNS:15}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:100}}''' has ID 100 and {{PAGESINNS:100}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:101}}''' has ID 101 and {{PAGESINNS:101}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:102}}''' has ID 102 and {{PAGESINNS:102}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:103}}''' has ID 103 and {{PAGESINNS:103}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:104}}''' has ID 104 and {{PAGESINNS:104}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:105}}''' has ID 105 and {{PAGESINNS:105}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:108}}''' has ID 108 and {{PAGESINNS:108}} pages | |||
*Namespace '''{{ns:109}}''' has ID 109 and {{PAGESINNAMESPACE:109}} pages | |||
'''All articlespaces''' (without File) totalled using PAGESINNS: {{#expr:{{PAGESINNS:0}}+{{PAGESINNS:2}}+{{PAGESINNS:4}}+{{PAGESINNS:8}}+{{PAGESINNS:10}}+{{PAGESINNS:12}}+{{PAGESINNS:14}}+{{PAGESINNS:100}}+{{PAGESINNS:102}}+{{PAGESINNS:104}}+{{PAGESINNS:108}}}} | |||

The '''grand total''' for all namespaces (including File) is: {{#expr:{{PAGESINNS:0}}+{{PAGESINNS:1}}+{{PAGESINNS:2}}+{{PAGESINNS:3}}+{{PAGESINNS:4}}+{{PAGESINNS:5}}+{{formatnum:{{PAGESINNS:6}}|R}}+{{PAGESINNS:7}}+{{PAGESINNS:8}}+{{PAGESINNS:9}}+{{PAGESINNS:10}}+{{PAGESINNS:11}}+{{PAGESINNS:12}}+{{PAGESINNS:13}}+{{PAGESINNS:14}}+{{PAGESINNS:15}}+{{PAGESINNS:100}}+{{PAGESINNS:101}}+{{PAGESINNS:102}}+{{PAGESINNS:103}}+{{PAGESINNS:104}}+{{PAGESINNS:105}}+{{PAGESINNS:108}}+{{PAGESINNS:109}}}} | |||
===Redirects=== | |||
There were 357 redirects as of 4/22/12 according to [[Special:ListRedirects]]. | |||

Subpages | ===Subpages=== | ||
I once believed that NUMBEROFARTICLES was ignoring subpages, so I performed the following check. However, these numbers seem too large to explain the discrepancy between NUMBEROFARTICLES and PAGESINNS, so it was probably a waste of my time. | |||
As of 4/22/12, a quick glance through [[Special:AllPages]] appears to show 258 of them in Main, 31 in Talk, 113 in User, 35 in User Talk, 4 in MediaWiki, 4 in Template, 6 in BSL, 1 in BSL Talk, 121 in OBD, 39 in OBD Talk, 4 in AE, 2 in AE Talk, 16 in Oni2, and 1 in Oni2 Talk. The total is 405 subpages in Main, BSL, OBD, AE, and Oni2. | |||
The total for '''articlespace subpages''' is: 526 | |||
''' | '''Total subpages''' are: 635 | ||
===Conclusion=== | |||
NUMBEROFPAGES is worse than useless, and I cannot reconcile NUMBEROFARTICLES with PAGESINNS. On the other hand, PAGESINNS reconciles with AllPages, which makes it verifiable. So we need to get the true count by using PAGESINNS and subtracting redirects (which is unfortunate because the redirect part has to be counted manually). Below we include the User namespace because some users keep Oni 2-related content there. | |||
Namespaces '''Main, User, BSL, OBD, AE, and Oni2''' totaled using PAGESINNS: {{#expr:{{PAGESINNS:0}}+{{PAGESINNS:2}}+{{PAGESINNS:100}}+{{PAGESINNS:102}}+{{PAGESINNS:104}}+{{PAGESINNS:108}}}} | |||
'''''True count''''' (above total minus redirects in those namespaces): {{#expr:{{PAGESINNS:0}}+{{PAGESINNS:2}}+{{PAGESINNS:100}}+{{PAGESINNS:102}}+{{PAGESINNS:104}}+{{PAGESINNS:108}}-289-2-2-21-10-8}} | |||
