Template:NUMBEROF/doc

NUMBEROF shows statistics for a language.project (eg. en.wikipedia). Statistics update every 6 hours except for enwiki stats 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: articles, pages, edits, users, activeusers, admins or files
  • 本地化：可以用中文不限繁體與簡體輸入：條目、頁面、編輯、用戶、活躍用戶、管理員、文件。
• Second parameter (lang.project): en.wikipedia, en.wikiquote, commons.wikimedia, etc.. if there is no ".<project_name>" it defaults to .wikipedia thus en or uk are acceptable shortcuts
• Third parameter: If not empty (any character) it will add a comma. For example "1000" becomes "1,000"
• Note: For Wikis that use non-Latin digits, adding a third parameter (any character) will display numbers in the native language

Optionally the second parameter can be "total.wikipedia", and it will show the total across all wikipedia languages. See examples below.

Examples

To show the number of articles of the French Wikipedia in format raw:

• {{NUMBEROF|articles|fr}} → 2655185
• {{NUMBEROF|條目|fr}} → 2655185

To show the number of pages on Commons with comma:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|commons.wikimedia|N}} → 147,324,230

To show the total number of pages across all Wikipedia projects w/ comma:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|total.wikipedia|N}} → 267,686,300

To show the total number of pages across all sister projects w/ comma:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|total.all|N}} → 646,917,289

Caution: total.all will not provide accurate results if the sister project stats are not being tracked in config.tab (see below)

Totals

Totals for first parameter stats (articles, pages, edits, users, activeusers, admins or files) are available in three types: totalactive, totalclosed and total (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 "Active" or "closed" indicate the status of the Wikipedia, as some wikis are no longer active, but old stats are still available.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:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|totalactive.wikipedia|N}} → 267,680,302

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

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|total.all|N}} → 646,917,289

Meta statistics

Information about the number of Wiki sites is available. Three types of stats: active, closed and languages (ie. active + closed).

• {{NUMBEROF|languages|wikipedia}} → 353
• {{NUMBEROF|active|wikiquote}} → 74
• {{NUMBEROF|closed|wikiquote}} → 23

This allows for creating dynamic sentences for example: As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} there are {{NUMBEROF|languages|wikipedia}} Wikipedia sites of which {{NUMBEROF|active|wikipedia}} are active and {{NUMBEROF|closed|wikipedia}} are closed. which produces: "As of 12月 2024 there are 353 Wikipedia sites of which 340 are active and 13 are closed."

Rankings

Site rankings are available. See {{Wikipedia rank by size}}

Depth

Depth is available. Example:

• {{NUMBEROF|depth|fr}} → 268

See meta: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 /data/project/botwikiawk/numberof by en:User:GreenC

How to install on other wikis

Copy and paste these pages:

• Template:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF/data

This is all that is required for basic installation.

Optionally install the full package which includes documentation and a rank template:

• Template:NUMBEROF/doc .. optionally use shorter Template:NUMBEROF/basicdoc renamed as "/doc"
• Module:NUMBEROF/doc
• Module:NUMBEROF/rank
• Module:NUMBEROF/other
• {{Wikipedia rank by size}} .. optionally translate "Wikipedia rank by size" to the local language
• {{Wikipedia rank by size/doc}}

Edit 'languages link' (left column) for:

• Template:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF
• Template:Wikipedia rank by size (if installed)

Link to the enwiki version. This allows for easier upgrades later.
