Variable for number of media files
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: elau8465

Description:
Currently the number of media files is handled by a template and has been
updated by hand in the past (see
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:NUMBEROFMEDIAFILES&action=history).
It would be useful to include a variable for MediaWiki:Sitestatstext that will
allow for the number of uploaded files to be shown automatically.

*note*
The "Component" of this report / bug / request should be changed.

Searching MediaZilla with "Advanced search" using
"Variable {{ }}" at
"contains all of the words/strings"
returns reports about variables with "Component"
"General/Unknown", "Page rendering", "Template", "Internationalization"

Wherever only one topic is addressed these reports should use the same component
or a new component "Variables" or "Predefined variables" or "Magic (words or
templates)".

A test page of actual variables is available at

{{NUMBEROFIMAGES}} has been around for a while, and there's now a count in
Special:Statistics too. Closing as fixed.
