Articles

From TheStudentWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Not all pages in the article namespace are considered to be articles; the most notable exceptions are:

  • the Main Page;
  • pages which contain no internal links;
  • disambiguation pages which are used to resolve naming conflicts;
  • "redirect" pages which are used to re-route one page to another page.

The automatic definition used by the software at Special:Statistics is: any page that is in the article namespace, is not a redirect page and contains at least one wiki link. The statistics software currently has no method of detecting disambiguation pages, however; nor does it disregard stubs (but in any case many articles tagged as stubs are quite substantial) or stublists (lists templates with little or no content).
