PagesPage metrics describe the characteristics of pages in the wiki. E.g., the byte length of a page describes the number of UTF-8 bytes required to store the articles content and the unique in-links of a page has describes the number other pages that link directly to it. Pages are also classified based on metircs. E.g., pages in the main namespace with more than [FIXME] bytes of content are included in the count of articles for a wiki. |
