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. | 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.

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. | ||
