__NOTOC__
A '''Ryzom Wiki article''' is a page that has encyclopedic information on it.
See [[Special:Allpages]] for a list of all Ryzom Wiki articles and Statistics for statistics on Ryzom Wiki and its growth.
"Articles" belong to the main namespace of Ryzom Wiki pages (also called "article namespace") which does not include any pages in any of the specified namespaces that are used for particular purposes, such as:
* the ''Ryzom Wiki'' namespace for material about meta subjects related to Ryzom Wiki);
* the ''talk'' namespaces for discussing what the content of pages should be
* the ''special'' namespace, whose pages are created by the software on demand
* the ''user'' namespace for pages that are used by individual Ryzom Wiki writers
* the ''image'' namespace which is used for describing and attributing images
* the ''MediaWiki'' namespace which is used to define shortcuts and other text strings used around Ryzom Wiki
But not all pages in the article namespace are considered to be articles; the most notable exceptions are:
* the [[Main Page]];
* disambiguation pages, which are used to resolve naming conflicts;
* redirect pages, which are used to re-route one page to another page;
* for wiki-statistical purposes, some extremely short and simple pages are not counted as articles. The criteria have varied over time.

The automatic definition used by the software at [[Special:Statistics]] is: '''any page that is in the article namespace, is not a redirect page and contains at least one wiki link'''. ''The statistics software currently has no method of detecting disambiguation pages, however; nor does it disregard [[Category:Stubs|stub]]s (but in any case, many articles tagged as stubs are quite substantial) or stublists (lists templates with little or no content)''.

==Quality of articles==
Articles range greatly in quality, from as high as featured articles to as low as candidates for speedy deletion. Some articles are quite lengthy and rich in content while others are shorter (possibly [[Category:Stubs|stubs]]) and of lesser quality.
