Template:Archive URL counts

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

{{Archive URL counts}} (aka {{NUMARCHIVES}}) shows statistics regarding external archive URL usage across Wikimedia Foundation projects. The data is updated automatically via bot and hosted on Wikimedia Commons at c:Data:Wikipedia statistics/exturls.tab. Statistics are updated once a month on the 15th (see "System notes" below).

Usage

There are 2 required parameters, and an optional third:

• First parameter (statistic): pages, urls, uniqurls, pagesurls, waybackurls, uniqwaybackurls, pageswaybackurls, archivetodayurls, uniqarchivetodayurls, pagesarchivetodayurls, webciteurls, uniqwebciteurls, pageswebciteurls, ialiburls, uniqialiburls, pagesialiburls
• Second parameter (site): The language and project code (e.g., en.wikipedia, fr.wikiquote, commons). If no project is specified, it defaults to .wikipedia (e.g., en will output data for English Wikipedia).
• Third parameter (formatting): If not empty (such as N), it will format the number with localized grouping separators (e.g., "1,000" instead of "1000").

System notes

• The statics are hosted on Commons as a single JSON file exturls.tab. The JSON is generated by the bot Numberofurl (a variation of the bot Numberof). The bot uses the tool Findlinks to pull data via SQL queries from the WMF SQL database. The SQL database is the External Links dump which is generated once monthly by WMF. Likewise this tool updates statics once a month.
