The number of wiki pages is the number of wiki pages on the wiki. Unfortunately moin moin has a behiavior that if you browse to a typoed page it automatically creates a blank wiki page for that which requires us to periodically purge empty pages. It was noted in [the announcement](http://www.ros.org/news/2014/09/2014-ros-metrics-report-available.html).

> The ROS community has grown in almost every metric. The one exception is that the number of wiki pages has dropped. This is due to a concerted cleanup effort earlier this year which removed a lot of empty pages with little to no content.

As a meta note, we ask that you please ask questions on [http://answers.ros.org](http://answers.ros.org) following our support guidelines: [Support - ROS Wiki](http://wiki.ros.org/Support)

ROS Discourse is for news and general interest discussions. [ROS Answers](http://answers.ros.org) provides a forum which can be filtered by tags to make sure the relevant people can find and/or answer the question, and not overload everyone with hundreds of posts.

In the future please start there.
