What kind of numbers are you looking for? I'd be happy to dig around for specifics, if our tools can give them.

From a functional standpoint, Special:Community is helpful because it saves you having to link to wiki staff, help pages, to-do lists, etc. separately in your navigation. Instead, you get one link under "Explore", which you otherwise couldn't add anything to, and one visually pleasing landing page for curious would-be editors, instead of multiple guideline/rule/maintenance list pages. If you use it, you don't have to use your local navigation bar for pages only a small fraciton of users cares about, but can still serve that small group what they need to get started
