Word counter

[edit]

Sorry if this is a perennial question, but why does the bot seem to count more words than other tools I'm trying? (Is it because the bot is counting wikitext and not rendered text?) See Special:Permalink/1335555131#Statement by Levivich as an example:

  • Bot: 692 words
  • wordcounter.net: 612 words
  • wordcounter.io: 612 words
  • quillbot.com: 608 words
  • grammarly.com: 612 words

I draft using these tools to try and stay under the word limit, but then when I post it, the arbcom bot says I'm over the word limit. Is there some other tool on the web I should be using for word counts? Thanks, Levivich (talk) 21:40, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Levivich: My sincere apologies -- that is annoying indeed. I will take a look shortly. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 00:40, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
No apologies necessary and no rush either, it's probably just user error. :-) Thanks for looking into it! Levivich (talk) 02:55, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Should be fixed next time someone edits WP:ARC! (cc @Asilvering) The problem was that because of the way {{tq}} was rendered by the bot's logic, the internal quote wasn't being rendered, but the text "Template:Tq is only for quoting in talk and project pages" was being rendered (for complicated reasons). Of course, this is quite a lot of words if you use {{tq}} a lot :). Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 04:29, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, great. So not only were people getting their quotes counted, they were getting them extra counted... -- asilvering (talk) 04:41, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Levivich (talk) 05:12, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
