Hello,
I was trying to find out what is the difference between an article and
page
in wiki's terminology?
Usually, a "page" is used more broadly in Wikipedia terms: It can be
everything from a redirect, to a discussion page, a user page, an
image description page etc.
An article is really this ("namespace 0" for the technically minded),
[[Oxford]] is an article whereas [[User:Mbimmler]] is not, but both
are pages.

The
MediaWiki.org page on the subject[1] seems to be fairly useful
in clarifying exactly what defines an "article" from the software's
perspective. As Michael pointed out, these (tend) to reside in NS-0
and not be redirects.
Additionally (and this is the technical side, not the community's
meaning of the word), it must contain at least 1 internal link.
