Wow, that is a big difference. Almost 4 million.
I think that MediaWiki doesn't count pages without any [[link]]. Is that
the reason?

Hi all,
The main page of Wikidata shows an item count that is getting increasingly
out of synch with reality. The 31 Aug dump contains 18,483,096 items, while
the front page says that there are 14,788,811 now. I think this is caused
by how MediaWiki counts "articles" (which is not what we are dealing with).
Or maybe this is intended? But if we prominently publish a number that is
25% off the "raw" data, we should at least explain which criteria was used
to produce it. What counts as a "proper" item on Wikidata?
Cheers,
Markus
