#What is a “content page”?

content pages is basically the main part of the wiki, like pages/articles people actually read/edit, the rest are considered "technical" like templates, or "official" like Project namespace

#

in namespace settings you can mark namespace as content one

#

by default, Main namespace (w/o prefix) is the content place

#

as to why it could go down from 70 to 20 - maybe something w/ cache? or some settings were actually changed?

Can you provide a link to your wiki? If you have 70 mainspace ages it should be 70+

#

It might be a potential side effect of the migration?

wild oriole
#

thought of that too

#

better check in Special:AllPages, and if things are really backwards then worth to investigate

Does the CSS just not load for anyone else?

Amok Wiki is an online encyclopedia dedticated around the subject of amok cases

Amok Wiki is an online encyclopaedia dedicated around the subject of amok cases

That was the css not loading

Could also be a difference in the application of the article count method found at Special:ManageWiki/settings#mw-section-links

#

If it's set to links, the page has to contain a wikilink to count, even if it's in the main namespace

#

Site statistics are recalculated on a scheduled basis though, so I expect this will clear up within a week either way.

Things that use the double-square bracket format to make links, like [[link to a new page]]

[[mw:Wikilinks]]

No they don't as it is not an internal link, but an external link

#

It needs to be pages that are on your wiki

ashen fern
#

As what?

ashen fern
#

Ah, no, I meant, It has to be a page in the main namespace. You can link internally to. A template is not content. It is a navigation tool with links to the main name space f.ex.
A redirect is not content either. It's just a referral

#

We often refer to these pages as Articles, or Lemma's

#

You can have 20 articles or lemma's in the Mainspace, but have 2000 pages of modules, templates redirects, etc.

#

{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} and {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} there's a big difference

You can adjust what is needed for a page to be counted as a content page

#

It can be set to 'Any' which will count any page within a namespace set as $wgContentNamespaces that is not a redirect

#

Any link that will get sorted in the page links table counts so it doesn't need to be to a page that exists and it can come from a template. Basically if it's created using [[ ]] then it's fine.

#

Do be aware that not every count is up dated instantly and it can take up to 17 days

Hmm, didn't know that. I always refer to {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} and {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} which makes the distinction what is a page with content on, and what is supportpages for the articles.

As Articles is that what is most important. Like on Wikipedia where they write Lemmata, and count these as such, and Pages is just so random, because Wikipedia has thousands of redirects, which is not really content.

But then again... One of the big Wiki's (The number two in pages, can't remember the name right now) Just copies articles from all wiki's, runs them through Google Translate and then posts them, all done by their bots.

I wouldn't count that as quality either, but it still is content you can read 😄

It should be in ManageWiki as $wgArticleCountMethod
