Description [[kgh]] 2011-12-20 16:47:12 UTC
On Special:Statistics we currently get in section page statistics:

* Content pages ...
* Pages ...
* Uploaded files ...

I know it my be funny to propose this but it would be better to have:

* Content pages ...
* Other pages ...
* All Pages ...
* Uploaded files ...

Thus it is easier to understand that content pages are included in the number of all pages. This proposal comes from experience. 8 out of 10 people ask me for the difference between content pages and pages. I guess we should cater for this even though the statistics are are already sufficiently documented.

Yes. At present, "content pages" links to Special:AllPages, which is misleading, because that includes redirects. These page types need to be differentiated and explained.
