If you go to the wikia api and ask for extended information of a wiki, let's say Harry potter wiki, in the response you get this stats object:

"stats": { "edits": 1194017, "articles": 15949, "pages": 184065, "users": 18755465, "activeUsers": 398, "images": 35131, "videos": 379, "admins": 19, "discussions": 26573 }

what does the field "discussions" exactly refer to? Is is the sum of all the talk pages and user talk of the wiki or something along those lines?
