In the Indonesian wikibooks (http://id.wikibooks.org/), the number of articles in the statistics page doesn't change (http://id.wikibooks.org/wiki/Istimewa:Statistik). When a new article is created the number doesn't increase, and when an article is deleted, the number doesn't decrease. It stays constant at 1408.
Looking at the stats: $ mwscript showStats.php idwikibooks Total views : 0 Total edits : 29954 Number of articles: 1408 Total pages : 6091 Number of users : 8073 Number of images : 583 I have manually run an update which gave: $ mwscript initStats.php --wiki idwikibooks --update Refresh Site Statistics Counting total edits...26040 Counting number of articles...0 Counting total pages...4497 Counting number of users...8083 Counting number of images...583 Counting total page views...0 Updating site statistics...done. Although it seems there are 1065 articles in the main (0) namespace: (wikiadmin@db39) [idwikibooks]> SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT page_id) FROM page, pagelinks WHERE page_namespace='0' AND page_is_redirect='0' AND pl_from=page_id; +-------------------------+ | COUNT(DISTINCT page_id) | +-------------------------+ | 1065 | +-------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
That was disabled on Feb 2nd at 09:26 UTC by Tim: 09:26 Tim: disabling SiteStatsInit::articles
Now the number of articles has dissapeared.

I made the Bug 35184. Sorry, I didn't know that this problem has been reported to bugzilla.
We found out that the number of articles were not increased because the new articles didn't contain any wikilink. But is there any explanation of the drop of all the stats? Also, regarding comment #2, what was the explanation for that?
Following a discussion with Tim Starling, I have re-enabled SiteStatsInit::articles(). $ mwscript showStats.php idwikibooks Total views : 0 Total edits : 26230 Number of articles: 0 Total pages : 4536 Number of users : 8171 Number of images : 586 $ And here we have the statistics getting updated: $ mwscript initStats.php --wiki idwikibooks --update Refresh Site Statistics Counting total edits...26183 Counting number of articles...1277 Counting total pages...4536 Counting number of users...8171 Counting number of images...586 Counting total page views...0 Updating site statistics...done. $
Browsing http://id.wikibooks.org/wiki/Istimewa:Statistik?uselang=en we currently have 1277 for "Content pages".
But the statistics is wrong. The content pages should more than 1400, because I wrote the statistics in http://id.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikibooks:Pengumuman. Also, the number of edits should more than 29000 (Now it only has 26000). Do you know what the problem is?
I think the statistic were wrong. We had a bug at some point in time that did not update the static count when deleting pages. That might be the root cause. What is described at comment 7 is a script which query the database and count articles and edit at the time the script is run. So that is the exact and real count. In conclusion, the statistics has always been wrong :-\ and are now correct :-)
In addition, there are some statistics on : - http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/EN/SummaryID.htm - http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/EN/TablesWikipediaID.htm
