	The article defining article completion stages is in each of the five article completion categories, so the count is simply the sum of all the articles in the Complete, Near-Complete (NCart) and Incomplete (ICart) categories (i.e. those not classified as Stub or No Content), minus 2, because of the triple appearance of the defining article, although it should probably be minus 3, since that article itself is not RPG content either. As far as I know, there's no way of doing that automatically, unlike counting the total number of articles, which is a special MediaWiki statistical function; and I believe that data field updates daily, or something, so don't freak out if you create a couple of new articles, and it then doesn't update immeidately. Wait 24 hours or a bit more, before freaking out. --Peter Knutsen (the Designer) 15:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)		The article defining article completion stages is in each of the five article completion categories, so the count is simply the sum of all the articles in the Complete, Near-Complete (NCart) and Incomplete (ICart) categories (i.e. those not classified as Stub or No Content), minus 2, because of the triple appearance of the defining article, although it should probably be minus 3, since that article itself is not RPG content either.
