What does MediaWiki think an article is? The MediaWiki code is as follows: # Would the given text make this article a "good" article (i.e., # suitable for including in the article count)? function isCountable( $text ) { global $wgUseCommaCount, $wgMwRedir; if ( 0 != $this->mTitle->getNamespace() ) { return 0; } if ( $wgMwRedir->matchStart( $text ) ) { return 0; } $token = ($wgUseCommaCount ? ',' : '[[' ); if ( false === strstr( $text, $token ) ) { return 0; } return 1; }
