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.

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.
Inserting tags in wikitext
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>
