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.

#[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] — add <tt>/Special:Statistics</tt> at the end of the URL – <code><nowiki>https://YourWikiURL.org/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code> (non-English [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions will automatically convert this to actual language).  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.

#[[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] — all Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) wikis are powered by MediaWiki, and so use the identical MediaWiki syntax shown immediately above.

#[[:Category:Wikia|Wikia, ''aka'' Fandom]] — actual page count is usually found somewhere prominent near the top-right of the [[wiki main page]] for individual Wikia / Fandom sites.  All Wikia / Fandom wikis are powered by MediaWiki (albeit a heavily modified and exclusively customised version), and therefore use the same MediaWiki syntax, as in <code><nowiki>https://WikiaName.Fandom.com/wiki/Special:Statistics</nowiki></code>.  The statistics page also includes URLs to the two available database dumps (current, and full including history), the latter (larger) URL is what we use in the <tt>backup url</tt> field of our [[Template:Wiki|wiki infobox template]] to display its backup file link.
