How to get size information

Most wiki engines provide statistics somewhere including a page count. Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on version)

1. MediaWiki: Replace Special:Recentchanges with Special:Statistics

We can also add MediaWiki listings to the http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php system which tracks various wiki stats

1. MoinMoin: Replace RecentChanges with SystemInfo or System_Info
2. UseModWiki: Replace ?RecentChanges with ?action=index
3. Pbwiki: Replace any page name with AllPages
4. PhpWiki: an option: Search for letter "e" in all Titles
5. ProWiki: Replace ?RecentChanges with ?action=spx
6. PmWiki: Search for / and scroll to the bottom (maybe searching for main/ would be better)
7. Tikiwiki: Replace ending /tiki-lastchanges.php with /tiki-stats.php
8. Twiki: Replace /WebChanges with /WebIndex
9. Oddmuse: In RecentChanges click on 1 day and replace ?action=rc;days=1;all=0;showedit=0 with ?action=index
10. Wikispaces: replace /changes ending the recent changes url with /pagelist
