There you go. It is the number in the red circle to the right of the action bars.

Thus you may use:

MainMenuBarPageNumber:SetAlpha(0)

Next time try to using /fstack and hover the frame. If it has a global name you may get it.

Are there any reason to :SetAlpha(0) rather than :Hide()?
Sorry if it's a stupid question.

You can use Hide(). But if the frame is re-shown by the default UI (maybe after exiting a vehicle) you have to hide it again (which is prohibited in combat = taint).

So SetAlpha is better than Hide in general?

Not per se. With using Hide() the frame will be gone. That is pretty important for frames with mouse-behaviour (thus you cannot click through them).

If the frame is not reshown by the default UI Hide() is the best option. It just may get you in trouble if the frame is reshown on condition by the default UI later.

Another option is to have your own frame that you hide. And you just reparent the frame you want to hide to that frame. Since the parent is hidden all childs will follow.

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "BlizzardUIHider", UIParent)
f:Hide()
MainMenuBarPageNumber:SetParent(f)

You can even hide any frame you want by parenting it to the BlizzardUIHider-frame.
