Wikipedia is a big place. Not only are there {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, there are also {{formatnum:{{#expr: {{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}|R}} - {{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}} }} }} other supporting pages devoted to helping build the encyclopedia! This tutorial will help you to get your bearings, learn how to find what you're looking for, and introduce you to a few of the most important pages.

Wikipedia [[WP:Size_of_Wikipedia|is a big place!]]

[[Category:Wikipedia quick introductions]]

For a start, there are currently '''{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}}/1000000round1}}&nbsp;million''' articles, the most extensive encyclopedia in human history. If we printed them all out, they would take up about '''{{formatnum:{{User:Tompw/bookshelf/volumes}}}}''' volumes, which [[Wikipedia:Size in volumes|would look something like this]].

In addition to this, there are another '''{{#expr:({{NUMBEROFPAGES:R}}-{{NUMBEROFARTICLES:R}})/1000000round1}}&nbsp;million''' supporting pages devoted to helping build the project.

This tutorial will help you to get your bearings, teach you how to find what you're looking for, and introduce you to a few of the most important pages.
