Site statistics
[edit]The English-language Wikipedia currently contains 6,918,941 articles. This number excludes redirects, discussion pages, image description pages, user profile pages, templates, help pages, portals, articles without links to other articles, and pages for Wikipedia administration. Including these, we have 61,949,032 pages.
Users have made 1,256,077,092 edits, with an average of __ per page, since July 2002. This includes edits by unregistered users. In addition, we currently have 930,679 media files (excluding files from the Wikimedia Commons).
The job queue length is currently __.
User statistics
[edit]There are 48,352,532 registered user accounts, of which 848 (or __%) have administrative tools.
- The first and third are done with parser functions. Basically just a bit of math.
- Average edits per page:
{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFEDITS:R}} / {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} round 2}}– produces 20.28 - Percentage of administrators:
{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFADMINS:R}} / {{NUMBEROFUSERS:R}} * 100 round 2}}%– produces 0%
- It's not possible to access the size of the job queue through wikitext outside of Special:Statistics. However, since the number quoted is usually inaccurate, it's completely meaningless to anyone except developers and there's nothing anyone can do about it anyway, one does wonder why it's even on there -- 217.44.236.162 21:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
"Content pages" link doesn't work
[edit] | This edit request to Special:Statistics has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
There's a problem with the "Content pages" label on the top of Special:Statistics.
It links to Special:AllPages with the parameter hideredirects=1. However, when clicked, the parameter doesn't seem to work; the resulting page includes redirects and appears exactly identical to how Special:AllPages looks without the parameter. Test for yourself here: with and without parameter. It seems that the hideredirects parameter doesn't work currently. I can't find any mention of it at mw:Help:All pages either, so the function to hide redirects from the AllPages page apparently doesn't exist.
Therefore, I suggest removing the link from "Content pages", since it is functionally redundant to the "Pages" link below. If there is a correct parameter to use in place of hideredirects I'm all for using that instead though - but I can't find any notion of that. Gaioa (T C L) 20:16, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- There's nothing that we can do about this. The parameter is hardcoded in MediaWiki. In the general case, it will work, but not in MiserMode, which Wikimedia wikis use. — JJMC89 (T·C) 03:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- @JJMC89: Okay, but surely somehow someone can fix it? Should I submit some kind of bug report or whatever to MW? I honestly really bugs me that the link on Statistics doesn't work, and it would be really practical to explore a list of non-r articles. I can take the initiative and push this issue, just point me in the right direction. Gaioa (T C L) 10:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
