If your talking about in the viewport stats where it shows polygons and faces, that is because one is for tris and one for everything else.

Polys = number of tris, quads and n-gons in the scene

Faces = number of faces(triangles) that make up the display of the tris, quads and n-gons in the scene.

If using quads/n-gons to build a model, it is important that you understand the underlying faces(triangulation) and how their windings can affect display/rendering.

Please note:
There is a difference between "Wireframe" and "Wire Mesh" view.
"Wireframe" will show edges that are on polys
"Wire Mesh" will show edges on Polys and faces

Wiremesh display is found:-
View > Object Shading > Object individual Shading > Wire Mesh/Wire Mesh all
