I don't understand why there are important differences for the numbers of articles for some Wiktionaries with the manual count (from Special:Statistics) at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary and http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/wiktionary/EN/TablesArticlesTotal.htm :
- 323 vs. 209 for Esperanto (eo)
- 301 vs. 83 for Serbian (sr)
Maybe the stats counter does not count an article whose links are all in templates as having a link in the article itself?
Or maybe it's just that it's using a slightly outdated version of the database -- it's dated March 9.
There are also curious figures for database size http://en.wikipedia.org/wikistats/wiktionary/EN/TablesDatabaseSize.htm
3.4 M for Esperanto (eo) for 323/209 articles
Several large index pages, such as http://eo.wiktionary.org/wiki/Vortaro_Germana-Esperanta_d
32 M for Interlingua (ia) for 253 articles
Interlingua has a lot of index pages, also.
1.1 M for Slovak (sk) for 21 articles
That *is* odd. http://sk.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C5%A0peci%C3%A1lne:Longpages lists a lot of 10 and 20K pages, and the article for "Wiki" is purportedly almost 70K long.
Apparently it was a target for Chinese spam: http://sk.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiki&oldid=1725
14 M for Basque (eu) for 60 articles
eu: also has similar indices to ia:, and seems to have been chosen as the new host for the Romanica material.
*Muke!
