  1. Direct instances | 4240876

  2. All instances (Total number of unique instances of this class and its 1009 direct and indirect subclasses) | 4096375

Seems page has some undocumented counting algorithm(s) involved here.

This is due to the fact that the "all instances" metric is computed offline, and therefore can be outdated. The UI should have a warning, or we should make sure that updates happen more often.

  1. ai: Section "Instances" - Document why quantity of Direct instances is higher than of All instances
  2. mk: Section "Instances": number of "all instances" can be outdated
  3. ai: Section "Instances" - Document why quantity of Direct instances can be higher than of All instances "outdated" does not address the data inconsistency
