Editing Encyclopedia:Size of Wikipedia (section)

==Number of pages==

As of {{date}}, there are {{NUMBEROFPAGES}} pages in the [[English Wikipedia]], of which {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} ({{#expr:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}}/{{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}} * 100 round 2}}%) are articles, which are found in the [[Wikipedia:Main namespace|main namespace]], or simply ''mainspace''. The rest of the pages belong to one of the other 11 [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespaces]], listed here in alphabetical order: Category, Draft, File, Help, MediaWiki, Module, Portal, Template, TimedText, User, and Wikipedia. Each page on Wikipedia can have a corresponding talk page as well. The data for this table is from the [[Special:Statistics]] page, as saved on that date by the [[Internet Archive]]. Note that the Internet Archive does not always have an archived version of the Special:Statistics page on the first day of each year. Over time, the percentage of all pages on Wikipedia that consist of articles drops as more non-article pages are created than articles.
