[Wikipedia-l] Death to the comma count!

Good idea -- basically if something non-blank exists in the article  
namespace, it should be an article, even if it is a stub. If we add  
categories, we may want to exclude all articles with [[Category:Stub]]  
from the count (or from an alternative count), but that can wait.

We should not count #REDIRECTs. We should trim whitespace (blanks, tabs,  
newlines) before doing the bytecount.
