Hey! I am preparing to copy-edit this article, though when I clicked "Page Size" it only read "89 words". There should be more words than just 89, how do I figure out how many words are actually in the article? Thanks! Tails Wx 17:20, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page size doesn't read lines that begin with bullet points or other markup. Removing the offending asterisks, using Twinkle with a regular expression (^\*+[ ]? -> \n), and then running page size yields a count of 11,211. Dhtwiki (talk) 04:35, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks! I'll see if I can improve the article, however another editor (who is not participating in the current blitz) has significantly improved the article, though I'll give it a shot. Tails Wx 04:38, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
