Notes: The earliest enwiki external links dump available in August 2012 is for July 2011. I already had the June 2011 dump, but none prior to that date. The history method results were found by making an assumption and doing some tricky stuff. I listed the articles containing Credo links in August 2012, then downloaded the wikitext for old revisions of those articles, at the dates shown above; the results were obtained from counting links in those old revisions.
The table method results were found by extracting the information from dumps of the external links table at the dates shown above (same as done for the Highbeam links).
The last row shows results from the external links dump for July 2, 2012. There were links in 166 different articles, and there were 181 different links, giving a total of 215 links.
LinkSearch shows there are currently 355 *.credoreference.com links in all namespaces (and some of those links would be just credoreference.com without a "something" following, and so are not included in the above data).
