Description

On Special:Statistics we currently get in section page statistics:

Content pages ...
Pages ...
Uploaded files ...

I know it my be funny to propose this but it would be better to have:

Content pages ...
Other pages ...
All Pages ...
Uploaded files ...

Thus it is easier to understand that content pages are included in the number of all pages. This proposal comes from experience. 8 out of 10 people ask me for the difference between content pages and pages. I guess we should cater for this even though the statistics are are already sufficiently documented.

Yes. At present, "content pages" links to Special:AllPages, which is misleading, because that includes redirects. These page types need to be differentiated and explained.
