Hard, hard work
If you ever wanted to know how hard we are actually working here at Mozilla, just take a look at the MozillaWiki Statistics page.
At the time of writing, it says there are 18,446,744,073,709,551,054 pages that are “probably legitimate content pages”:
That’s roughly 18 and a half quintillion pages. Happy reading!
PS: It’s obviously extremely unlikely that this is a mistake. The internet doesn’t lie, after all.
Update: This was filed as a bug and fixed now, which reduced the number to a boring 260… That still sounds wrong (there have to be more than that) but it’s slightly closer to reality, for sure

That’s on the order of about three billion pages per person on the planet. No wonder authors don’t get paid very much…

Off course I agreed with you…
mainly should someone notice:
“There are 5,718 total pages in the database.” and “… that probably don’t qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 18,446,744,073,709,551,054 pages”
Who files the bug?

Haha, I never had a *blog entry* marked as a dupe before, well done, Cameron
(And actually this article is older than the bug referenced, so technically the bug is the duplicate!)
