One would expect that this number would therefore agree with PAGESINNS when one adds in 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 NUMBEROFARTICLES too suspect to use. | ||

However, since Allpages counts redirect pages, that means that PAGESINNS does too. Therefore, we can't use a straight sum of PAGESINNS results as our page count. | ||
