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,
