for all those interested, i found the answer to ryan's original question. i spent some time digging in the source and talking to some people (*cough*Tim*cough*Starling) in #mediawiki on freenode last night
short answer: it doesnt, its just some jargon text written in the days of old. long answer: the system only checks for "page" (anything) vs "article" (good stuff) * TimStarling>**uberfuzzy: the answer **to your question **is: a countable **article is one with **at least one internal **link, is not a redirect,** and is in a content **namespace (usually **the main namespace)* in terms of MediaWiki:Sitestatstext pages are in $1, articles in $2. any other text descriptions there defining what either is doesnt really mean much, its there to help quickly explain the difference to people who dont really care about the code behind it. -chris "uberfuzzy" stafford
