When anyone goes to [[Community Portal]] and hits the "Create a New Wiki Page" button, the default boilerplate includes this:

'''| pages = <nowiki><!-- nessesary. plain number of pages, leave blank if unknown --></nowiki>'''

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)

Most wiki engines provide global statistics. Here's how to find them for various wiki engines (although it can also depend on version)
When anyone goes to [[Community Portal]] and hits the "Create a New Wiki Page" button, the default boilerplate includes this:

<div style="font-weight:bold">
#[[:Category:UseModWiki|UseModWiki]]:
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Size

don't use this style any more, use the new style instead
