table-fying NS page counts

This page looks into the math that is used by MediaWiki to give various page counts.
Note from the 1.31 section of WikiFuture: "The 'comma' value for $wgArticleCountMethod is no longer supported for performance reasons, and installations with this setting will now work as if it was configured with 'any'. Note that we are currently using the 'comma' option, but it appears that 'any' will return the same result, as it counts all pages that are not redirects."

MW code says: From MW 1.18 on, if the count method global is set to 'link', the software gets a distinct count of the entries in the pagelinks table, "pl_from" field, that match those page ids. In other words, it filters out pages that do not link to other pages (the reasoning presumably being that "those aren't real wiki pages" if they're not connecting to anything else). It also filters out redirects. If the method is set to 'comma', it counts all non-blank pages (yes, really).

Iritscen says: Okay, $wgArticleCountMethod has now been set to 'comma'.

It appears that 'any' will return the same result, counting all pages that are not redirects.)


'''PAGESINNS''', AKA PAGESINNAMESPACE: These counts agree with the number of pages displayed for each namespace on the [[Special:AllPages]] page, which provides some much-needed verifiability. 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. See final section for the adjusted number.

PAGESINNS breakdown:
PAGESINNS breakdown:
*Namespace '''{{ns:-2}}''' has ID -2, but we can't get a page count
{| class="wikitable"
*Namespace '''{{ns:-1}}''' has ID -1, but we can't get a page count
! Namespace
*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]]
