Template:NUMBEROF/doc

NUMBEROF shows statistics for a language.project (eg. en.wikipedia, cs.wikiquote, commons.wikimedia, etc.). Statistics update every 6 hours, except for your local wiki (metawiki) which are real-time.

Statistics are available for:
 * Total Articles (main-space pages)
 * Total Pages (articles + redirects + talk etc)
 * Total Users (ever registered)
 * Total Active Users (recently active)
 * Total Edits
 * Total Files (images)
 * Total Admins
 * Total for any of the above across all Wikipedia languages

Usage
There are 2 required parameters, and an optional third:
 * First parameter:,  ,  ,  ,  ,   or
 * Second parameter (lang.project):,  ,  , etc.. if there is no "." it defaults to   thus   or   are acceptable shortcuts
 * Third parameter: If not empty (such as 'N') it will add a comma. For example "1000" becomes "1,000". For Wikis that use non-Latin digits, 'N' will also display numbers in the native script.

Examples
To show the number of articles of the French Wikipedia in format raw: To show the number of pages on Commons with comma:

Totals
Totals are available for three types:,   and   (ie. totalactive + totalclosed). "Active" or "closed" indicate the status of the Wikipedia, as some wikis are no longer active, but old stats are still available.

To show the total of all active sites, on wikipedia, for pages:

There is also a special  which is all projects (eg. wikipedia, wikiquote) that are active or closed.



Rankings
Site rankings are available. See

Depth
Depth is available. Example: See Wikipedia article depth for the meaning of depth.

How it works

 * The statistics are retrieved from Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/data.tab
 * The rankings are retrieved from Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/rank/wikipedia.tab and wikibooks.tab etc.. one for each of 8 sister projects.
 * The bot Numberof runs 4x daily updating data.tab and the ranking tabs based on a site list generated by API:SiteMatrix
 * The bot sources statistics from API:Siteinfo
 * The bot runs on Toolforge from  by en:User:GreenC

How to install on other wikis
Copy and paste these pages:
