Be careful what you wish for! Thanks for running the script on these wikis, but
it has resulted in some *huge* changes in article counts, and some are very
questionable. For example, the Nepali Wiktionary has "lost" 98% of its entries,
falling from 4,821 down to 73. How is this Wiktionary counting articles? Link
or comma method? (It clearly isn't using "any".)

And while most of the Wikisources have grown, as one would expect since more
namespaces are now considered "content", the Ukrainian Wikisource has lost 57%
of its text units, dropping from 4,563 down to 1,947. How could it have lost so
many content pages?

More generally: I know how to check what namespaces count as content (API
namespaces query), but how does one find out what article-count method a wiki
is using?

Reopening this bug until this issue is cleared up. (I've only checked a few of
the updated article counts so far, but I will check more and see if there's a
systematic problem with certain types of languages, or what...)
