Template:NUMBEROF/doc

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.

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.

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

• {{NUMBEROF|articles|fr}} → 2763598

To show the number of pages on Commons with comma:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|commons|N}} → 182,749,398

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 "Active" or "closed" indicate the status of the Wikipedia, as some wikis are no longer active, but old stats are still available.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}} → 268,795,981

To show the number of pages on avwiki in format raw:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|av}} → 18725

To show the number of pages on avwiki:

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|av|N}} → 18,725

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

• {{NUMBEROF|pages|total.all|N}} → 690,787,160

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

• {{NUMBEROF|languages|wikipedia}} → 361
• {{NUMBEROF|active|wikiquote}} → 76
• {{NUMBEROF|closed|wikiquote}} → 23

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 June 2026 there are 361 Wikipedia sites of which 345 are active and 16 are closed."

Depth is available. Example:

• {{NUMBEROF|depth|fr}} → 279

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

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

• 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 en:User:GreenC
