	is there a specific reason that you have number of pages on the front page (via transclusion of the /TOP page) instead of number of articles? {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles vs {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} pages. granted, the larger number looks bigger (better?) but its a false statement of content as it includes things like talk pages and templates and MediaWiki control messages. --[[User:Uberfuzzy\|Uberfuzzy]] 03:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)		is there a specific reason that you have number of pages on the front page (via transclusion of the /TOP page) instead of number of articles? {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles vs {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} pages. granted, the larger number looks bigger (better?) but its a false statement of content as it includes things like talk pages and templates and MediaWiki control messages. --[[User:Uberfuzzy\|Uberfuzzy]] 03:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

			:Yes the total number of articles is a more accurate measure of content, but the pages number represents the activity of the community rather than just the encyclopaedic content. I agree if we're writing a book you only include the content, but I treat this site as so much more than that. Thoughts?
