Thread:Project:Support desk/ How can I know which article is the 1st, 100th, 1000th, 2000th aritcle?/reply

While I suppose you could use the curid url parameter. It finds article by page id, which more or less corresponds to if it is the 1st, 100th, etc article. (If said article was deleted, you will get a bad title error. Whenever a page is deleted, a hole is left in the page id numbers).

For example https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?curid=1 https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?curid=30000
