Wikipedia [[WP:Size_of_Wikipedia|is a big place!]]
 
For a start, there are currently '''{{#expr:{{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}}/1000000round1}}  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:({{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFPAGES}}|R}}-{{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}})/1000000round1}}  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.
