Hi,Patrick. I am not very active in English Wikipedia. Where can I find heavy use of #ifexists? Hillgentleman 08:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From w:Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#.23ifexist_limit:

A list of pages with a #ifexist count over 100 is here. Pages are added on parse, and there's no duplicate filtering, so it might get big in a day or two. Pages with a #ifexist count over 2000 are already broken. -- Tim Starling 05:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is currently 24 Mb(!).--Patrick (talk) 13:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
25Mb now. I have written a pywikipedia script to extract the Cantonese entries (1 page) and Chinese entries (359 pages). Hillgentleman 04:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
