Note: This topic has been unedited for 5931 days. It is considered archived - the discussion is over. Do not add to unless it really needs a response.

From Special:Statistics Uncyclopedia currently contains 23,035 articles. This number excludes non-mainspace articles, redirects, discussion pages, user profile pages, templates, and basically anything that isn't an article. Including these, there are 189,687 pages.

That's quite a disrepancy. This is because only mainspace articles are counted. The UnNews, Undictionary, Game, Babel, and UnTunes namespaces aren't counted. Does this mean they're not funny? I guess we should take of their featured ARTICLES tag then. To be fair, Game is 99% subpages, Babel is non-English, and Undictionary's "funniness" is debatable. But UnNews and UnTunes have had features, and are generally funny. So include them in the article count. Why are they even in seperate namespaces, anyway? --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 21:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

This is due to the way that MediaWiki is written. It's coded that way. Would you care to haxx0r the wiki so that this isn't the case? —Hinoa talk.kun 21:52, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I know that, but that would seem to say UnNews isn't made of content. This is kind of a bad idea in retrospect. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 21:54, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd support this idea if it wasn't technically fuck-off impossible to do. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 22:00, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

How about this: only articles written by Electrified mocha chinchilla (me) count. --EMC ^[TALK] 22:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I love how you had to add that (me) to reassure us that you are, in fact, EMC. I say that from now on, only <insert name here>'s articles should show up, since they're the only funny ones. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk!

The fifth! Wait, no! The second! Damn, this is hard. Can I have a hint? Unsolicited conversation Extravagant beauty PEEING 01:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Well the only way you're going to fix that is to a) rewrite the mediawiki code and then get wikia to accept your changes, or b) count them yourself. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 01:32, 25 Nov 2007

Right again, Spang. Whenever I make a topic, Spang will oppose me and be right. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 01:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, looks like I'll have to get counting, then. Lets see... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 UnNewses...7, 8..... - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 03:02, Nov 25

Well, we could totally activate the variable $wgAllowSlowParserFunctions so we could use the magic word {{PAGESINNS}}, and use that to give us an accurate count. Smells like effort, though. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 03:12 Nov 25, 2007

No, that's just my hockey gear. Just got back from a game, you know. Got two goals, but we tied. Ok, I'm done bragging now. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 03:15, Nov 25

Yeah, feel free to ask wikia if they'll switch on settings that slow down the wiki :) • Spang • ☃ • talk • 20:34, 25 Nov 2007

Hey, slow down the wiki, slow down vandalism! Amirite? – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 22:35 Nov 25, 2007

Perhaps there is some way to add like a {{article}} amd then sum them insted of using the built in thing -- contented Ape (clapperclaw) (Riot Porn) 22:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

If by "like a {{article}}" you mean a template, and by "built in thing" you mean "{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}", and by "sum them" you mean "use Dynamic Page List", then no, 'cuz DPL only goes up to 500, and besides, a template like that would be really fucking annoying. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 22:37 Nov 25, 2007

A Revelation

If we counted the various namespace articles in our article count, we could surpass Wookieepedia in article count of Wikia. VICTORY COULD BE OURS! - Admiral Enzo Aquarius-Dial the Gate 21:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

  Also, I have no idea how to read that table. I'm pretty sure it doesn't say uncyclopedia on it anywhere... - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 23:27, Nov 25

  Then go here. Uncyc has over double Wookieepedia. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 01:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  Isn't "over double wookieepedia" a cricket term? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  There sure are a lot of other wik...Wikifur!? What the hell? Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 02:20, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  Seems like Wookiefur would be better...Why is there not a StickyWiki for mastrobaiters? Or a PickyWiki for grammar and food nazis? The world is not a perfect place. I object. ----OEJ 15:43, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  There's a Spanking Art Wiki, which is exactly what it sounds like. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 19:13, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  It wasn't exactly what it sounded like to me. I was expecting it to sound like this: "You've been bad, Michelangelo's David... very bad..." -- (but) Untrue  Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 19:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Easy solution

The article count can't be changed. But any admin can change the text in Special:Statistics. It can be worded not to imply UnNews articles aren't articles.---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 18:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
