Moduuli:NUMBEROF

NUMBEROF shows statistics for a language.project (eg. en.wikipedia, cs.wikiquote, commons, etc.). Statistics update every 6 hours, except for your local wiki (en.wiki) which are real-time.

Projects tracked include: *.wikipedia *.wikisource *.wikibooks *.wikiquote *.wikivoyage *.wikinews *.wikiversity *.wiktionary wikidata meta commons foundation wikimania wikitech

Statistics are available for: Total Articles (main-space pages) Total Pages (articles + redirects + talk etc) Total Users (ever registered) Total Active Users (recently active) Total Edits Total Files (images) Total Admins Total for any of the above across all Wikipedia languages

Usage

There are 2 required parameters, and an optional third:

• First parameter: articles, pages, edits, users, activeusers, admins or files
• Second parameter (lang.project): en.wikipedia, en.wikiquote, commons, etc.. if there is no ".<project_name>" it defaults to .wikipedia thus en or uk are acceptable shortcuts
• Third parameter: If not empty (such as 'N') it will add a comma. For example "1000" becomes "1,000". For Wikis that use non-Latin digits, 'N' will also display numbers in the native script.

Examples

To show the number of articles of the French Wikipedia in format raw:

• {{NUMBEROF|articles|fr}}

To show the number of pages on Commons with comma:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|commons|N}}

Totals

Totals for first parameter stats (articles, pages, edits, users, activeusers, admins or files) are available in three types: totalactive, totalclosed and total (ie. totalactive + totalclosed). "Active" or "closed" indicate the status of the Wikipedia, as some wikis are no longer active, but old stats are still available.

To show the total of all active sites, on wikipedia, for pages:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|totalactive.wikipedia|N}}

There is also a special total.all which is all projects (eg. wikipedia, wikiquote) that are active or closed.

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|total.all|N}}

Meta statistics

Information about the number of Wiki sites is available. Three types of stats: active, closed and languages (ie. active + closed).

• {{NUMBEROF|languages|wikipedia}}
• {{NUMBEROF|active|wikiquote}}
• {{NUMBEROF|closed|wikiquote}}

This allows for creating dynamic sentences for example: As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} there are {{NUMBEROF|languages|wikipedia}} Wikipedia sites of which {{NUMBEROF|active|wikipedia}} are active and {{NUMBEROF|closed|wikipedia}} are closed. which produces: "As of joulukuu 2024 there are 352 Wikipedia sites of which 339 are active and 13 are closed."

Rankings

Site rankings are available. See {{Wikipedia rank by size}}

Depth

Depth is available. Example:

• {{NUMBEROF|depth|fr}}

See meta:Wikipedia article depth for the meaning of depth.

How it works

• The statistics are retrieved by Module:NUMBEROF from Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/data.tab and Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/meta.tab
• The rankings are retrieved from Commons:Data:Wikipedia_statistics/rank/wikipedia.tab and wikibooks.tab etc.. one for each of 8 sister projects.
• The bot Numberof runs 4x daily updating data.tab and the ranking tabs based on a site list generated by API:SiteMatrix and statistics from API:Siteinfo
• The bot runs on Toolforge from /data/project/botwikiawk/numberof by

How to install on other wikis

Copy and paste these pages:

• Template:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF/data

This is all that is required for basic installation.

Optionally copy-paste the full package which includes documentation, a rank template and meta statistics.

• Template:NUMBEROF/doc .. optionally use shorter Template:NUMBEROF/basicdoc renamed as "/doc"
• Module:NUMBEROF/doc
• Module:NUMBEROF/rank .. for rankings
• Module:NUMBEROF/other .. for rankings
• Module:NUMBEROF/meta .. for meta statistics
• {{Wikipedia rank by size}} .. optionally translate template name
• {{Wikipedia rank by size/WP}} .. variation on the template
• {{Wikipedia rank by size/doc}}

Edit 'languages link' (left column) for:

• Template:NUMBEROF
• Module:NUMBEROF
• Template:Wikipedia rank by size (if installed)

Link to the enwiki version. This allows for easier upgrades later.
