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 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
• 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

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

• {{NUMBEROF|articles|fr}} → 2654387

To show the number of pages on Commons with comma:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|commons.wikimedia|N}} → 147,218,213

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 "Active" or "closed" indicate the status of the Wikipedia, as some wikis are no longer active, but old stats are still available.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}} → 267,565,791

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

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|total.all|N}} → 646,617,435

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 December 2024 there are 353 Wikipedia sites of which 340 are active and 13 are closed."

Depth

Depth is available. Example:

• {{NUMBEROF|depth|fr}} → 268

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

How it works

• 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.

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 copy-paste the full package which includes documentation, a rank template and meta statistics.

• Template:NUMBEROF/doc
• Module:NUMBEROF/doc
• Module:NUMBEROF/rank .. for rankings
• Module:NUMBEROF/other .. for rankings
• Module:NUMBEROF/meta .. for meta statistics

Edit 'languages link' (left column) for:

• Template:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF

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