"Article" refers to an encyclopedic text in the main namespace of a
Wikipedia; "page" refers to any given title on the wiki, including
articles, redirects, and non-existent pages. The distinction is
similar to terminology in a printed encyclopedia: every sheet of paper
is a "page", even if it's blank.
Non-Wikipedias often have different distinctions as appropriate.
