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.
