[edit] Site statistics

The English-language Wikipedia currently contains 3,102,432 articles. This number excludes redirects, discussion pages, image description pages, user profile pages, templates, help pages, portals, articles without links to other articles, and pages for Wikipedia administration. Including these, we have 18,628,855 pages.

Users have made 348,280,405 edits, with an average of __ per page, since July 2002. This includes edits by unregistered users. In addition, we currently have 869,639 media files (excluding files from the Wikimedia Commons).

The job queue length is currently __.

[edit] User statistics

There are 11,046,232 registered user accounts, of which 1,701 (or __%) have administrative tools.

The first and third are done with parser functions. Basically just a bit of math.

Average edits per page: {{#expr:{{NUMBEROFEDITS:R}} / {{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} round 2}} – produces 18.7

Percentage of administrators: {{#expr:{{NUMBEROFADMINS:R}} / {{NUMBEROFUSERS:R}} * 100 round 2}}% – produces 0.02%

It's not possible to access the size of the job queue through wikitext outside of Special:Statistics. However, since the number quoted is usually inaccurate, it's completely meaningless to anyone except developers and there's nothing anyone can do about it anyway, one does wonder why it's even on there -- 217.44.236.162 21:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
