Most [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] provide statistics somewhere, which includes a [[:Category:Wiki Size|page count]].  Here's 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 most, 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]].
