During the transition to this site from Wikia, we had lost over 2,000 articles in the process. We need to bring them back somehow. 04:14, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- Do you know which articles are missing? Any information would help us in recovering them. Legoktm (talk) 04:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- It looks like the articles are present judging by the total pagecount; a lot of them just aren't currently listed as articles because they aren't in content namespaces because we forgot to tell the MediaWiki that HEY THESE ARE CONTENT TOO! Things like Undictionary and whatnot, you know? Except I'm not even sure what all they should be at the moment... -— Lyrithya ༆ 04:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

So...
...just 28,000 more to go? Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 23:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Comparison:
Uncyclopedia.wikia.com has 30,079 articles. Uncyclopedia.co has 29,332 articles. Now it is around 1000 articles less. We need to recover the articles lost during the transition, and I am sure that you are doing it. And on an unrelated note we did not show up on Google search results. 03:29, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- We won't up in the search engines for a while. You can help by linking to the site on all your social media accounts. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 06:48, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
- Look at the total pagecount, not the the number of articles - articles is just the count of non-redirect pages in the content namespaces, and we're still working out the bugs with the redirects table, so it probably won't give an entirely accurate result for awhile yet. And what Frosty said about the other thing. -— Lyrithya ༆ 07:48, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
