Thanks Daniel. I had not understood the meaning of NS0. Anyway I found
the details of NS0 from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NS0
However this confuses me even more.
The above link says that “only articles” and no redirects are in the
namespace NS0. Also Talk: pages are not included in the NS0.
Then, when the current English Wikipedia advertises 2,791,033 Articles,
I cannot understand why the list of Titles contains 5716820 Titles? This
is a little more than double?
Thanks for helping out,
O. O.
