when we say "100,000 articles on
x.wikipedia.org" are we simply
counting the number of entries in the cur table, or just those where
is_cur_redirect=0 ?
my understanding is that this is the number of _articles_ in the cur table,
where "article" is defined as a non-redirect page in namespace 0 with either
1 comma or 1 link (depending on how $wgUseCommaCount is configured).
does this make sense? i don't have the numbers at hand to check...
