;pages: number of 'legitimate' [[wiki]] article pages (NO 'thousands' separator), see [[#How to get size information|How to get size information]] below for details

:(''alternative parameter names:'' <tt>wiki pages</tt>, <tt>wiki_pages</tt>)

::This is an optional, though preferred parameter; it automatically selects the appropriate '''{{tag|Wiki Size|Wiki Size category}}'''.

;statistics URL: external link to the wiki's statistics page, which includes the page count

:(''alternative parameter names:'' <tt>statistics_URL</tt>, <tt>wiki statistics URL</tt>, <tt>wiki_statistics_URL</tt>)

::This is an optional, though preferred parameter, and ''should'' be used to provide verifiability; archived links are acceptable for [[:Category:Dead|dead]] wikis.

;wikiFactor: plain value, see [[#How to calculate the wikiFactor of a site|How to calculate the wikiFactor of a site]] below for details

::This is an optional, though preferred parameter; it automatically selects the appropriate '''{{tag|wikiFactor|wikiFactor (wF) category}}'''.

;wikiFactor URL: external link to the page containing the database the wikiFactor (wF) was calculated from

::This is an optional, though preferred parameter.  However, if the above wikiFactor parameter is used, then this parameter ''should'' also be used to provide verifiability to the wikiFactor claim.  You may still include this parameter even if you are unsure on how to calculate the above wikiFactor value – as it will allow other [[:Category:Wiki People|WikiIndex editors]] to assist in calculating the correct wikiFactor value for you.  As with the statistics URL, archived links are acceptable for dead wikis.

;(Page count as of<nowiki>:</nowiki> 2018-MM-DD, wikiFactor as of<nowiki>:</nowiki> 2012-MM-DD): ISO 8601 date of backup URL, as in YYYY-MM-DD; manually add/amend the date each time you actually check to verify and/or update the stats

Many [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] provide wiki site statistics somewhere, which includes a {{tag|Wiki Size|page count}}.  Here is how to find them for various wiki engines; although it can also depend on the software version of the wiki engine being run by the said [[wiki]].  For some, simply click on the appropriate 'statistics' link; for others, you need to add (or replace) a specific text at the end of the relevant wiki URL in the address bar of your [[:Category:Web|web]] [[:Category:Software|browser]].

#[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] — add <tt>/Special:Statistics</tt> at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code> (non-English [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions will automatically convert this to actual language).  Dependent on software version, there is a number called "Content pages", or "pages that are probably legitimate content pages" -- use <u>that</u> lower number.  Ignore the (often much larger) "all pages in the wiki, including redirects" number.  We can also [http://s23.org/wikistats/addwiki/ add] MediaWiki listings to the http://s23.org/wikistats/mediawikis_html.php system which tracks various wiki stats.

#[[:Category:MoinMoin|MoinMoin]] — add either <tt>/SystemInfo</tt> or <tt>/PageSize</tt> at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/SystemInfo</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>http://YourWikiURL.org/PageSize</nowiki></code>
