Hello, Iam trying to figure out a discrepancy between

(i) querying statistics numbers returned by the API (e.g. http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=sta...) and

(ii) querying the page titles and metadata using the API (e.g. http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&aplimit=50...)

(i) reports 12816 pages 6300 articles 46584 edits 6551 images 137 users

(ii) sums up to 17788 pages (sum over all namespaceIDs >=0) 46906 edits (parsed using http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&pageids=1...) 72 users (http://www.grazwiki.at/api.php?action=query&list=allusers&aulimit=50...)

! So I have much more pages when fetching them step by step than reported by the statistics query (only namespaceIDs >= 0, ensuring that I do not count duplicated) ! API lists 72 users, but statistics report 137 ! Edits roughly match, but I have other Wikis in the pipeline where the difference is much higher

First I thought that the official statistics leave out some namespaces, but I could not figure combination which would explain the results. Could it be cached results? That would be quite a difference and it would not really explain the user-delta.

Iam extracting the Wikis for research and want to make sure that I have an accurate extraction/representation of the Wikis.

=> I would appreciate any information and ideas that can explain the differences.

Regards,

Rüdiger
