User blog:BandiCooper/Article counter gone wrong

I'm an admin on Bandipedia. One day, the wiki had about 1,340 pages, the next day, it had about 1,280. I checked the deletion log, but the sixty missing pages weren't there. A few days or so passed and people had added new pages, bringing the count up to 1,312. When I logged on today, I found that we have 1,375 articles! And no one had added those pages. Something's wrong with the article counter.
