When I go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Statistics, clicking on
"content pages" takes me to a list of pages that are included in
"(Article)" namespace. But this includes redirects, which is surprising to
me because the Special:Statistics page implies to me that redirects are
included in "Pages (All pages in the wiki, including talk pages, redirects,
etc.)" which is a separate link. So, is there a way to verify that what
Special:Statistics is showing for "content pages" actually excludes the
redirects that are shown in "(Article)" namespace?
I also have a question about disambiguation pages. When I go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllPages, select "(Article)", and
select "hide redirects", disambiguation pages like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/!!,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panda_(disambiguation),
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teel and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons
are all still appearing in that list of pages. Should we be counting
disambiguation pages as "articles"? I suppose it makes sense to think of
editing disambiguation pages as editing in content space, but I'm a little
hesitant to count them as articles for the purposes of the 5,000,000
milestone. Curious to hear what others think about whether disambiguation
pages should be counted as articles for this purpose.
Thanks,
Pine
