This wish has been granted

Description

I would like to have the option to count all the pages within the same category. This can be very useful for those wikis that are supposed to be encyclopedias — then members and visitors can see how many articles there are on that site….

There is the new module CountPages existing !
( module "CountPages" works like ListPages but lets you display counts.)

Here is a short Example:

[[module CountPages category="wiki,blog" tags="_closed"]]
%%count%% active pages
[[/module]]

I would also like to add that it would be nice to be able to count other things too, like changes per user, total changes done in one wiki, new pages per user, etc…

It might seem like a trivial feature, but I think it's kinda a neat.

This would be neat. Right now, the only way to do it is with ListPages setting perPage to "1" and seeing how many pages there are.

interesting idea. Might it be possible to hide all but the last button with CSS?

The page count info is there, (listpages and pagecalendar). it's just hard to put it into a usable form.
