Forum:Is there a way to find your 1,000th page?

Or are the articles created just lost and I just have to wait for 2,000? -- Bunai82 (talk page) 08:06, August 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there a specific wiki where you want to know this? Also you need to be more detailed about what you want to know... 1000 new pages created by you or just in general? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 1:13 PM PST 12 Aug 2010
 * Just do something like http://www.wowwiki.com/index.php?curid=1000 That will take you to the 1000th created page, whether or not it was deleted. -- 21:31, August 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Are you sure that's right, Pcj?
 * I got:
 * Bad title


 * The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more characters which cannot be used in titles.


 * Return to Portal:Main.

 * It may be that the article ID is not assigned in a numerical order or that that page was deleted. Not sure, that is the best chance that I could tell though. -- 22:03, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

My own wiki w:c:gaia:Gaiapedia, just to mark it as history. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 02:57, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * http://gaia.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewPages?limit=1000 will show you the first 1000 pages created by anyone.
 * http://gaia.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewPages/Bunai82?limit=1000 will show you the first 1000 pages that you created.
 * Does that help? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:36 PM PST 12 Aug 2010
 * XD nn not really, but I guess it is not possible to find the 1,000 page mark. Guess I can wait to 2,000 or something. Thanks anyway. -- Bunai82 (talk page) 13:14, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to use the API to ouput a page listing sorted by date of creation and then limit it to 1,000? Duskey ( talk ) 00:55, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * The database dumps you get from the links on the statistics pages are actually in creation order, so if you download those, it's just a matter of filtering out the redirects and pages from the namespaces you're not interested in. I have a perl script which I wrote to do this a while back, so I grabbed the Gaia wiki dump, and my estimate of the 1000th page is Item:Dragon and Kai (in heaven). --125.237.120.146 02:16, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you look for the milestone article just after the milestone is reached, you can load Special:Statistics and Special:NewPages simultaneously, then check the article count on the stat page and count backwards from the top of the new pages list. Be aware, though, that this method can fail if a new article was created over top of a pre-existing redirect, as this will not show up on Special:NewPages. &mdash;Master Jonathan (talk) 03:19, August 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not what the user was asking - they'd already passed the 1000th article long ago and wanted to know what it was. --125.237.120.146 23:59, August 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you sort something like http://sims.wikia.com/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&apfilterredir=nonredirects&aplimit=500 in order by date of creation? I'm sure this can be done using DPL, but let's see if we can do it without since not everyone can/want to use that. Duskey ( talk ) 06:53, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
