Hi,

How different is this number {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} from " Select count(*) from page where page_namespace=0 and page_is_redirect=0;"
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Article_count
While {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} gives a count of 558 on gom.wikipedia.org, while the sql query http://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/4738 says its 2253 as of now. (14 August 12:47 pm IST). Why there is such difference (huge one)? Is this a bug? Should this be dealt at phabricator?
No, this might very well be correct. Articles such as https://gom.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%A7%E0%A5%81%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%82 do not count, as they do not contain any internal link.
