Summary: Option to restrict view counter per namespace
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: subfa...@gmail.com
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgHitcounterUpdateFreq is there to
improve the performance by lowering the database load a bit but it has a major
disadvantage: your view counts become wrong and lower than as without using
$wgHitcounterUpdateFreq.
My thought is that it would be more useful for people to not count views on
less important namespaces instead and only count e.g. MAIN. Sure the main ns
takes most of the views but performance boost should be the same and in the end
you don't ruin your view counters as with $wgHitcounterUpdateFreq.
