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

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]].

Wikipedia is a big place!

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

Not only are there '''{{#expr:{{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}}/1000000round2}} million''' articles, there are also '''{{#expr:({{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}|R}}-{{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}})/1000000round2}} million''' other supporting pages devoted to helping build the encyclopedia! This tutorial will help you to get your bearings, learnteach you how to find what you're looking for, and introduce you to a few of the most important pages.
