Different strokes for different folks
There are two ways of counting strokes for radicals: by the number of strokes in the full form, and the number of strokes in the reduced combining form as used in the characters themselves. The full form is best for classification purposes, and it's what Wiktionary uses in the template at the top of the page. For our purposes, Radical 140,艸/艹, is 6 strokes- after all, the radicals are ordered by number of strokes and this is radical 140, not somewhere in the 30-61 range. That's not something I made up (I'm certainly not qualified)- the CJKV editors decided to do it that way before I started here more than a decade ago.

Don't try to change this- there are thousands of entries, and your edits are just making a handful of them inconsistant with the rest. Sure, your way is just as logical as ours- but it's not something you can decide for everyone else. Please find something more constructive to do- I don't want to have to block you.
