Add a count of entries
Perhaps the best way to explain is just to give examples:
- Count of Chronology Entries
- {{#ask: [[Category:Chronology]] | format = count }} (2071)
- Count of Chronology Entries before 1864 (note that it includes 1863)
- {{#ask: [[Category:Chronology]][[Year::<1863]] | format = count }} (1786)
- Count of Chronology Entries, before 1864, only noteworthy and above
- {{#ask: [[Category:Chronology]][[Year::<1863]][[Salience::<2]] | format = count }} ({{#ask:<1863<2 | format = count ; Count of Chronology Entries, before 1864, only noteworthy and above
- {{#ask: [[Category:Chronology]][[Year::<1863]][[Salience::<2]] | format = count }} ({{#ask:<1863<2 | format = count
Count of Chronology Entries tagged Civil War, before 1864, only noteworthy and above
- {{#ask: [[Category:Chronology]][[Tags::Civil War]][[Year::<1863]][[Salience::<2]] | format = count }} (138)
- Sum of Games Tab Entry Counts (this is different because entries are counted with a script because this is in free text form)
- {{#ask: [[Category:Games Tab]] | ?Entries | format=sum }} (2,292)
Here are our current tables of information, with some notable fields:
- Chronology: Chronology entries

- Games: Glossary of Games entries
- Game Family
- Game Regions
- Game Eras
- Sources: Bibiolography entries
- Is in library the filter for this is [[Is in library::yes]], where yes means "checked"
- Url: an online version, the filter for this is [[Url::+]], where plus means "is there something there?"
- Diggers: Contributors
- Ballgames: Games Tab, new version
