 ==How to get size information==
-Many [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] provide an output of statistics somewhere for individual wiki sites, and this usually includes a {{tag|Wiki Size|page count}} for said wiki.  Below is how to find them for various wiki engines; although it can also depend on the specific software version of the wiki engine being run by the said [[wiki]].  For some engines, simply click on the appropriate 'statistics' link; for others, you need to manually manipulate its URL by adding (or replacing) a specific text at the end of the relevant wiki URL in the address bar of your [[:Category:Web|web]] [[:Category:Browser|browser]].  The following are known URL manipulations, and / or other methods.  Please feel free to add any additional new findings, or make corrections to existing if required.

 #[[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] — all Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) wikis are powered by MediaWiki, and so use the identical MediaWiki syntax shown immediately above.
 #[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia, ''aka'' Fandom]] — actual page count is usually found somewhere prominent near the top-right of the [[wiki main page]] for individual Wikia / Fandom sites.  All Wikia / Fandom wikis are powered by MediaWiki (albeit a heavily modified and exclusively customised version), and therefore use the same MediaWiki syntax, as in <code><nowiki>https://WikiaName.Fandom.com/wiki/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code>.  The statistics page also includes URLs to the two available database dumps (current, and full including history), the latter (larger) URL is what we use in the <tt>backup url</tt> field of our [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]] to display its backup file link.

 #[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] — go to the <tt>/Special:PopularPages</tt> page of the wiki site – <code><nowiki>https://YourWikiURL.org/Special:PopularPages</nowiki></code>.<br>MediaWiki have, by default, now {{Mw|Requests for comment/Removing hit counters from MediaWiki core|'''removed''' the page 'Special:PopularPages'}} from its core installation in {{Mw|MediaWiki 1.25#Hit counters removed|MediaWiki 1.25}} onwards.  MediaWiki now use the {{Mw|API:REST API|RestAPI}} function instead.  To now produce the data as before, the wiki site owner (or hosting provider) must install the {{Mw|Extension: HitCounters}}.  Many large wiki sites are not able to have MediaWiki (or an extension) internally generate hit counters, as they operate behind a cache or reverse proxy (such as {{Mw|Squid}} or {{Mw|Manual:Varnish caching|Varnish}}), or an external content distribution network (such as {{Mw|Manual:CloudFlare|CloudFlare}}) for performance reasons - which means most of the requests never reach the main servers.  There are alternatives, but mostly these are site-specific.
 #[[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] — <tt>/Special:PopularPages</tt> has been unavailable for some time.  The Wikipedia article traffic statistics 'Top' sites option at [http://Stats.Grok.se Stats.Grok.se] was previously available for the larger [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedias]], [[Wikimedia Commons]], and [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]], but needed to be manually summed for the individual wiki on a per-month basis.
