Where do I find CountThings?

You only see the function when you or another author integrated the special tag into an article. Everybody with writing permissions can use the tag, everyone with reading permissions ca see the infobox as a result.

Usage / Features

• Introduces three tags:
  • <bs:countusers /> - shows number of users currently logged in the wiki.
  • <bs:countarticles /> - shows number of pages currently existing on the wiki.
  • <bs:countcharacters>ARTICLENAME</bs:countcharacters> - shows information on the particular article. It can show different information depending on the mode:
    • chars – number of characters on the page
    • words – number of words on the page
    • pages – number of pages this article would have if printed/exported
    • all – default mode – shows all the information above.

Functions of CountThings

These metadata can be counted:

Number of all pages in a system

This number is based on the database table page. Attention, this number is different to the one you will get with Special:Statistics because there additional criteria are used.

<bs:countarticles />

Number of characters, words and pages (2000 characters = 1 Seite) of an article

If you want to show all information (characters, words and pages) of an article, please use this code:

<bs:countcharacters>ARTIKELNAME</bs:countcharacters>

If you just want to show part of the information, please choose between these different modes:

• chars: Only number of characters.
• words: Only number of words.
• pages: Only number of pages.
• all (Standard): All information.

The mode is defined with "mode":

<bs:countcharacters mode="chars">Name of the article</bs:countcharacters>===Number of users in a system (users who are signed-in)===
<bs:countusers />

The code has to be integrated directly into the article.
