Birgitte SB that was the reason, why my text wasn't as polite as it should be. It sounded off-topic for me.
Thank you for explaining, this discussion would have been off-topic in the other thread. I am not someone that finds statistics to be a big deal, but I have learned that others feel deeply about such issues. The statistics total all pages marked "4" and report this as the number of pages a subdomain has proofread and validated. So when compared to other subdomains which mark empty pages with "0" the numbers of de.WS are slightly inflated. The current state of things is that other subdomains do not count empty pages in their totals while de.WS does. I appreciate your introducing the situation to the local community.
