Forum:Community has over 30K pages!

Maybe it makes sense, but I'm sort of surprised that Community Central has over 30,000 pages! What are they all? Forum questions? I think it may be because blog comments are counted as "pages on this wiki", which is probably a flaw in how they get counted. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 31 Jul 2011 10:56 PM Pacific


 * The actual page count in the main namespace is only around like 25 I think. The rest is blog comments. Forums do not count I believe. The comments counting as articles was done so comments could be linked to.--


 * If I recall correctly they deliberately made all the blog comments count as pages. It even makes sense considering emphasis here is on community activity instead of main namespace content, as on most other wikis. — Sovq 06:02, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * What constitutes the pages count is stored in the array at  , if that helps. — Spike Toronto  16:31, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Could poke a staff member and ask them exactly which namespaces are content here.

I was wondering the same thing, how? --TheBen10Mazter (Talk -Blog -Contribs)  16:33, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Content namespaces on this wiki are: (Main), Community Central, Help, Forum, Admin Central, Admin Forum, User blog and Blog. You can easily check this on any wiki: Go to Special:Search and hover your mouse over "Content pages" - Tjcool007 (Talk) 19:25, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Good tip, but doesn't really tell us if comments are counted. Maybe Sovq will remember where that info came from. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 1 Aug 2011 1:00 PM Pacific


 * I tried to track back where I recalled this info from, but the best I could find was this blog post where in the comments, Sarah Manley explains that they were experimenting with tweaking what gets included to the page count. That's not really precise information, so I might be wrong.


 * Technically, since the comments are in the "User Blog comments" namespace, they shouldn't count. But on the other hand it's hard for me to believe that Community Central generates a thousand new pages every month or so, without counting the comments. — Sovq 20:39, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Neat trick, but I’m not sure it’s correct. When I hover over the same thing at Special:Search on our wiki, it shows three namespaces, two of which, are specifically not included in our wiki’s   array. For us,    is set as follows:
 * The main/article namespace (   )
 * The Project: namespace (   )
 * The Template: namespace (   )
 * The Help: namespace (   )
 * Which produces the following   : $wgContentNamespaces = array (0, 4, 10, 12); The point is, when I hover over that, I see two namespaces that have been removed, and I do not see namespaces I know to have been added. Thanks! — Spike Toronto  20:48, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
