Many [[:Category:Wiki | 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. | ||

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 from [[S23-Wiki|S23]] which tracks various wiki stats. | ||

Many [[:Category:Wiki | Many [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engines]] (though not all) provide global statistics for page views, or 'hit counters'. Here is how to find the appropriate [[wikiFactor]] related stats for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on software version used by individual wiki sites). | ||

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: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.
