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

boilerplate (new style)

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

{{Size
| statistics URL =  No 
| pages = <!-- number of pages, leave blank if unknown -->
}}

(I think this comes from Template:NewWiki boilerplate).

boilerplate (old style)

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

{{Size
| statistics URL =  No 
| size = Size category
}}
