That's strange. Two days ago, I added three new pages to uropi.wikia.com, and the number of pages shown on the wiki activity page went up from 197 to 200. Yesterday, when I logged in, there were only 197 pages... And none had been deleted. I added two new pages, and it went up to... 200. Today, there are only 199 pages... Who counts pages?

- Pages are counted in Special:Statistics - and they shouldn't decrease unless there's an error in the count, somehow. Redirects aren't counted - so it's possible that could account for the loss RandomTime 18:17, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
- I just had a look to the page Special:Statistics. It says that the wiki has 199 real pages and -1 (yes, minus one!) active members... Silvàn 18:27, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
- Perhaps it squared an imaginary member....
- Seems like a bug, article count isn't really a metric used that often, I'd probably just ignore it, but feel free to contact Fandom Staff and report it as a bug RandomTime 18:29, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

- I recall someone mentioning somewhere that pages that meet certain conditions are not counted in the page count, even if those pages are in the main namespace. If someone edits a page so that it meets those conditions, then it would decrease the page count. I'm not sure if this is actually the case, so I'd still recommend Special:Contact.

- w:c:uropi:Special:WikiStats seems to work. I'll add your problem to Forum:MediaWiki upgrade problems and oddities, in case it is related to the MediaWiki 1.16.1 upgrade. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 12 Feb 2011 10:53 AM Pacific
