If you add the tags in source code edit mode, use the following syntax.

<bs:countarticles />
<bs:countusers />
<bs:countfiles />
<bs:countcharacters mode="Words">ARTICLENAME</bs:countcharacters>
</pre>
For the "countcharacters" tag, replace ARTICLENAME with the page name for which you want to get the count values. Also, "mode" can be adjusted as needed. For details, visit the reference page.

CountThings introduces a set of tags for counting various metadata in the wiki. Available tags are: countarticles, countusers, countfiles, and countcharacters.

Usage

The tags are added as Content Droplets in visual edit mode.

Number of characters <countcharacters /> Counts all characters or words on a wiki page:
  • all (default): displays all of the above information in a table
  • characters: number of characters on the current page (based on the wiki code, including spaces)
  • words: number of words on the current page
  • characters and words: number of words and characters on the current page
  • pages: number of pages the current article would occupy when printed or exported
Number of files <countfiles /> Counts all uploaded files
Number of pages <countarticles /> Counts all content pages in the wiki
Number of users <countusers /> Counts all registered users

Configuring the countcharacters tag

While other tags have no configuration options, and just adding them to the page is sufficient, the tag Number of characters (countcharacters) must be configured.

After inserting this tag or clicking on an existing tag already on the page, a dialog opens.

Enter the name of the page for which to count characters. This name should include the namespace if the page is not in the main namespace. Next, select the mode from the dropdown menu.

While selecting the mode and page, a preview of the output is displayed above the dialog box. If the page title in the table heading shows the page name in red ("redlink"), you have misspelled the page name and the page does not exist.
