Template:NUMBEROF - Festipedia

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used in MediaWiki:Statistics-files-desc --> Special:Statistics.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Festipedia user interface. To avoid large-scale disruption, any changes should first be tested in this template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added in one single edit to this template. Please discuss any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:NUMBEROF

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 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[edit]

There are 2 required parameters, and an optional third:

First parameter: articles, pages, edits, users, activeusers, admins or files
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 (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[edit]

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

{{NUMBEROF|articles|fr}} → 2666648

To show the number of pages on Commons with comma:

{{NUMBEROF|pages|commons.wikimedia|N}} → 150,420,503

Totals[edit]

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 "Active" or "closed" indicate the status of the Wikipedia, as some wikis are no longer active, but old stats are still available.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}} → 269,132,661

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

{{NUMBEROF|pages|total.all|N}} → 653,433,545

Meta statistics[edit]

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

{{NUMBEROF|languages|wikipedia}} → 354
{{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 February 2025 there are 354 Wikipedia sites of which 341 are active and 13 are closed."

Depth[edit]

Depth is available. Example:

{{NUMBEROF|depth|fr}} → 269

See metawikipedia:Wikipedia article depth for the meaning of depth.

How it works[edit]

The statistics are retrieved by Module:NUMBEROF from Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/data.tab and Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/meta.tab
The rankings are retrieved from Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/rank/wikipedia.tab and wikibooks.tab etc.. one for each of 8 sister projects.
