Hi folks,
is there any way to retrieve the # of articles in a wikipedia language
with a GET request or something similar?
You could try GETting [[Special:Statistics]], and working out which of
the numbers displayed is the number of articles (looking, it seems
different languages put the number of *articles* and number of *pages*
different ways around - perhaps you could compare the various numbers,
and work out that there will always be less articles than pages, and
less of either than edits, etc...)
