             Bug #: 32789
           Summary: Split hitcounter feature into an extension
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: General/Unknown
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


We ship MediaWiki with a hitcounter feature. This feature basically makes an
update to the database on every page view just to count how many people have
viewed the page. And our default out-of-the-box settings have it enabled and
set to 1 so that every single page view makes the most inefficient possible
update.

Frankly I can't believe we ship MediaWiki with a feature of minimal use that
reduces the wiki's performance.

This feature sounds perfect to split out into an extension for those who want
it.
