I have always seen a difference of about 2000 article count of total articles on Kannada Wikipedia (knwiki or kn.wikipedia.org http://kn.wikipedia.org), which is the accurate count?
WikiStats is always correct. Don't trust Special:Statistics. https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN_India/ is being updated again now.
Also, the stats at stats.wikimedia.org http://stats.wikimedia.org are always a month old or more than that, for Indic languages - Telugu (tewiki), Odia (orwiki), Kannada (knwiki), Marathi (mrwiki). How to get latest stats? Are there any API calls, for Total editors, New editors, active editors, very active editors, article count, new articles per day, edits per month and page views for Indic languages like Kannada, Telugu, Odia, Marathi, etc ?
As said on IRC...
09.52 < Nemo_bis> We have links to more resources in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Statistics . None of them offers *all* the metrics (for which see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Metrics_standardization and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Metric_definitions ) 09.52 < Nemo_bis> Some select metrics, re-defined for live update, are available at https://metrics.wmflabs.org/static/public/dash/ 09.56 < Nemo_bis> And on Wikimedia projects there is this API https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserDailyContribs
