I have so far refrained from adding word counts to unfinished stories, primarily because it can become inaccurate very quickly if people don't update the count. I mean, I do it myself for the webcomics list because it's kinda relevant when the last update was, and there's a column just for saying "the comic count is reflected up to X date". But the fanfic list doesn't have room for a column like that, unless you want to use the "Notes" space for that. My suggestion is to leave the word count out of this page and put it on the article page with a note which chapter it reflects, like here (that also makes updating it easier later on).
