 ===== How Big, and Why That Number =====
+<WRAP tip>
+**[[Statistics:How many sites]] is the page for this question in full** — what precision, rare-event capture and rank-tail effects each buy you, the arithmetic for each, the nineteen papers that report the same measurement at more than one rank depth, and the six in 1,121 that derive their //n// from anything. This section is the draw-side summary. Its figures are **tuple-level** (2,379 populations); that page's are **paper-level** (one number per paper, so a median of 20,000 rather than 6,755). They differ by construction, not because either is stale.
+</WRAP>
 Sample sizes in this literature are chosen by round number, not by design. Of 2,379 web populations with a stated size, **43.5% are 1, 2 or 5 times a power of ten**, and the single most common values are 1,000,000 (198 populations), 100 (156) and 10,000 (148). The median stated size is **6,755** — far smaller than the "million-site measurement" framing of the field suggests — and a quarter of populations are under 283.
