Currently the number of media files is handled by a template and has been updated by hand in the past (see http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:NUMBEROFMEDIAFILES&action=history). It would be useful to include a variable for MediaWiki:Sitestatstext that will allow for the number of uploaded files to be shown automatically.
Looking at http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ASitestatstext&diff&oldid=570471 this report seems to be a duplicate of Bug 4324: Feature request: usable {{NUMBEROFFILES}} variable best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
*note* The "Component" of this report / bug / request should be changed. Searching MediaZilla with "Advanced search" using "Variable {{ }}" at "contains all of the words/strings" returns reports about variables with "Component" "General/Unknown", "Page rendering", "Template", "Internationalization" Wherever only one topic is addressed these reports should use the same component or a new component "Variables" or "Predefined variables" or "Magic (words or templates)". A test page of actual variables is available at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikivar
{{NUMBEROFIMAGES}} has been around for a while, and there's now a count in Special:Statistics too. Closing as fixed.
