I'm familiar with {{PAGESINCAT}} and <categorytree>, but is there a way to combine them to output the amount of articles in a category from a specific namespace? Specifically I need it to count the number of File: in a category. Duskey(talk) 14:41, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

- Not quite what I was going for, I need the output the number of files in a category. Duskey(talk) 20:09, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Could be done with DPL, it can select a set of pages by namespace and category, and you can use %TOTALPAGES% to get the count (documented here). --◄mendel► 20:56, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
