Module:NUMBEROF

• The module implements {{NUMBEROF}} and {{Wikipedia rank by size}}.
• The module uses commons:Data:Wikipedia statistics/data.tab for statistics and commons:Data:Wikipedia statistics/rank/*.tab for rankings.
  • data.tab and rank/*.tab are updated by bot multiple times per day.
• The module loads Module:NUMBEROF/data, Module:NUMBEROF/rank and Module:NUMBEROF/other once per page [not per template invocation].
• The module was originally developed on Enwiki.
