Forum:Page count problem

Hello, I frequent a wonderful wiki called Gyropedia and I just had a question one tiny little problem: the page count. You see, I inserted a script of some kind for the wiki's featured article/image/video which automatically rotates each day of the year. The problem is that I have to create a new page for each day. Is there a way to pages with certain prefixes not add onto the page count? (Like templates and special pages, I think?) Please forgive me if this isn't possible, I'm fairly new to Wikia.

Thank you!

 * The page count you see on the main page is counting mainspace pages (articles) with a few filters. Templates, users, special pages, blogs, and forums are not included.
 * But as an administrator, can you simply change some filters? Or if that's not plausible, will changing the prefix to "special" and so forth work?
 * Thank you

 * Articles are in the main namespace unless they are prefixed by another namespace. The defaults on a wiki are the main namespace, Template:, User Blog:, Project namespace (in your case Gyropedia:) and Talk:. If you don't want an article in the main namespace, move it to another.--


 * It's also worth noting that you can't create pages in or move pages to the Special: namespace.
