As of 07:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC) in Special:Statistics:

There are 15,944 total pages in the database. 
This includes "talk" pages, pages about WikiFur, 
minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that 
probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding 
those, there are 5,007 pages that are probably 
legitimate content pages.

Backtracking on Special:Newpages the last ~15 new main namespace pages were:

• Howloween 2006
• Howloween 2005
• Howloween 2004
• Joseph Alolicous Foxwood
• Howloween 2003
• Lost Dragon
• Michael Campbell
• PigCop
• Howloween 2002
• FuzzlePup
• Let Sleeping Gods Lie
• Three Fingers
• Erika Harm
• Johan Pilfer
• The Mouse Butcher

Checking them for actual content (at least one link, which seems to be what is needed to determine an 'article'):

• Howloween 2006 probably #5007
• Howloween 2005 probably #5006
• Howloween 2004 probably #5005
• Joseph Alolicous Foxwood probably #5004
• Howloween 2003 probably #5003
• Lost Dragon probably #5002
• Michael Campbell probably #5001
• PigCop probably #5000
• Howloween 2002 probably #4999
• FuzzlePup probably #4998
• Let Sleeping Gods Lie probably #4997

Just writing this down soon after the fact for later verification or whatever (since the definition of 'articles' is ambiguous, counting later will be harder).

Update, it seems just a link is enough status to warrant inclusion as an 'article'. A blank article with [[blah]] shows up as. Numbers adjused accordingly. Also note: a redirect was deleted and a page moved (making another redirect created), but redirects do not count as articles. --Splarka (talk) 07:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

(!) Article one on Wikifur was Sibe (a troll,) article 5000 is about PigCop (another troll,)... Here's to that the 10000th article is about a more pleasant entry =) Spirou 16:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
