Hi John,

#most popular# is meant to be editors pick where as #most visited# is most
pageviews. I am not sure why the changes you made to
Mediawiki:Most_popular_articles are not showing. I will look into this.

Personally, I prefer to add more Categories to the Nav Menu , rather than
having customizing the Top Content menu as readers can quickly scan the left
hand nav and see all the different content.

You can do this by adding all your popular categories as new bullets
"#Category-VimTip#" on  http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar.
It will automatically populate with the 7 most visited articles in that
category.

Or you can do it super manual like ffxi

Let me know if you need any other help

Best,
Angie
