| Silently sets the counter ''id'' to ''value'' minus ''increment'' (so that the next count by ''increment'' will display ''value''); ''value'' and ''increment'' can be omitted, and both default to <code>1</code>.

'''count''' is a [[Help:Parser function|parser function]] that returns an integer that increments each time the function is called:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 3
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 4
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 5
|}

The counters can be given different names, so you can have more than one of them on the same page:<br />
<span class="small">(The actual name doesn't matter, so long as they're different. If you use a counter in a template, pick a name that'll be unique.)</span>

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#count:first}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:second}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:second}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:second}}</code>
| 3
|-
| <code>{{#count:first}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:second}}</code>
| 4
|}

You can also make the counter count by twos, or by any other number:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#count:evens|2}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:evens|2}}</code>
| 4
|-
| <code>{{#count:evens|2}}</code>
| 6
|-
| <code>{{#count:evens|2}}</code>
| 8
|-
| <code>{{#count:evens|2}}</code>
| 10
|}

Different increments can be used at different times, depending on what is needed:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#count:strange|1}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:strange|1}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:strange|3}}</code>
| 5
|-
| <code>{{#count:strange|0}}</code>
| 5
|-
| <code>{{#count:strange|-1}}</code>
| 4
|-
| <code>{{#count:strange|2}}</code>
| 6
|}

The counter can be reset partway through a page:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 3
|-
| <code>{{#resetcount:basic}}</code>
|
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:basic}}</code>
| 3
|}

You can also set what number you want to start on:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#resetcount:starting|11}}</code>
|
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting}}</code>
| 11
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting}}</code>
| 12
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting}}</code>
| 13
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting}}</code>
| 14
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting}}</code>
| 15
|}

If you're using an increment, you need to give it to <code>#resetcount</code> too:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#resetcount:starting evens|14|2}}</code>
|
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting evens|2}}</code>
| 14
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting evens|2}}</code>
| 16
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting evens|2}}</code>
| 18
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting evens|2}}</code>
| 20
|-
| <code>{{#count:starting evens|2}}</code>
| 22
|}

Use a negative increment to count down. As noted above, be sure to pass the increment to <code>#resetcount</code> too:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#resetcount:countdown|3|-1}}</code>
|
|-
| <code>{{#count:countdown|-1}}</code>
| 3
|-
| <code>{{#count:countdown|-1}}</code>
| 2
|-
| <code>{{#count:countdown|-1}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#count:countdown|-1}}</code>
| 0
|-
| <code>{{#count:countdown|-1}}</code>
| -1
|}

You can use the counter in other [[ParserFunctions|parser functions]]:

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}</code>
| odd
|-
| <code>{{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}</code>
| even
|-
| <code>{{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}</code>
| odd
|-
| <code>{{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}</code>
| even
|-
| <code>{{#ifexpr:{{#count:alternate}} mod 2 = 0|even|odd}}</code>
| odd
|}

{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 1em"
|- style="background: #EEE"
! Code
! Gives
|-
| <code>{{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}</code>
| 1
|-
| <code>{{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}</code>
| 4
|-
| <code>{{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}</code>
| 9
|-
| <code>{{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}</code>
| 16
|-
| <code>{{#expr:{{#count:squares}} * {{#count:squares|0}}}}</code>
| 25
|}

When using count in [[HRWiki:SORT|sortable tables]], please use the {{[[Template:hcount|hcount]]}} and {{[[Template:vcount|vcount]]}} templates. Be sure to carefully read their documentation in order to sort table entries correctly.
