I didn't intend to put stats on every page.  Every page has a 
"mirror-ing" info page that has stats for that page (revisions, links 
to, links from, is orphaned, etc).  But the overall wiki stats should 
only go on the "default" or "home" page for the wiki.  In our case, 
this is the wiki page with the topic WebHome or by going to the 
wiki with no topic (its the default).   Essentially this is the 
index.php3 for that directory but it should also have a valid wiki 
name so that you can auto link to it easily.  We already use the 
WebHome page for this purpose and I don't see why this should 
change.

And the wiki stats itself should include page edits and new pages 
(but in separate little info boxes sorta like how sourceforge's main 
page shows new projects, and "hot" projects).  In addition, I was 
thinking the total number of wiki members, the total number of wiki 
pages, and other info might be really neat to auto include in the 
WebHome page...  Obviously, we'll need to either make WebHome 
auto generated and not editable, or have special tags for each of 
these stat boxes so they can be auto-rendered and laid out using 
normal wiki editing (i would prefer the second option as its more 
flexible).
