Forum:Number of articles

hi!

please forgive my newbie-ness, but i'm have trouble with what should be something simple...

on the main page, it says, "we have 2,002 articles". when i click the 2,002, it takes me to http://wikistats.wikia.com/EN/TablesWikiaNETHACK.htm, which is a 404 not found page.

i then ended up finding the xml files at http://wikistats.wikia.com/n/ne/nethack/ but do not know how to parse them (using linux command line tools) to distinguish what makes an article versus something else (i realize the xml file is a bit older, but it still should contain around 1,980 "articles", right?)

lastly, i went to http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Special:AllPages but wasn't able to figure it out there, either. for example, what does it mean when the link is italicized? plus, it lists a lot more than 2,002 pages. (and yes, i also don't fully understand "all pages" versus "pages with prefixes").

anyway, as i said, it should be something simple... i'd just like a listing of those 2,002 articles. any help?

thanks,

ryan
