enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.7z. What I found to my surprise is that there are (at least) 7 million pages in the main namespace. I got this figure by grepping for page titles that do not contain a ":" character. Is this really the case or am I missing something?
Your page count likely includes redirect pages. Normally article counts exclude redirects.
