Probably the counter wrapped backwards by mistake. You can manually reset the
count like this in MySQL:
update site_stats set ss_good_articles=NNN;
An approximation to the count might be:
select count(*) from page where page_namespace=0 and page_is_redirect and
page_len > 0;
(not exact; it should check the text field for presence of a '[' char)
