Bug ID: 72420
Summary: Bring back the view counter and make it optional
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

The view counter was removed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/150699/
But this is an essential to determine which pages are most useful to users or
just "popular".
The reasons for it having flaws do not apply to company / intranet wikis.
On my company wikis I use a list on the start page "30 most popular pages" as a
quick jump link list for unexperienced users.
Every shit blog, CMS etc has a list of the most popular pages. This cannot be
done with trackers.
Furthermore you hereby encourage admins to use evil tracking software. That is
so super backward thinking...
Please bring it back and leave it an optional decision for the admin to use or
not to use it.
MEDIAWIKI IS NOT WIKIPEDIA!
