==New versions of WikiMedia MediaWiki no longer have popular pages page==WikiMedia [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] have removed the 'Popular Pages' tool from all releases since around October 2014. Unfortunately this is going to make this metric largely obsolete. --[[User:Thedugganaut|thedugganaut]] ([[User talk:Thedugganaut|talk]]) 18:56, 26 May 2015 (PDT)
:For reference, this is [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/150699/ Gerrit Change 150699] deployed on Oct 21, 2014, and released in MediaWiki 1.25 on 25 May 2015. Might need a new way of getting wF for new MediaWiki installations --[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 07:18, 16 June 2015 (PDT)
the RFc was set up by a person with a similar name as our [[Carl McBride]]. If that is his MW-account, maybe we should ask him ;-) [[User_talkUser talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 11:10, 16 June 2015 (PDT)
The changelog for MediaWiki 1.25 says May 25, 2015 in section '''Hit counters removed'''
"MediaWiki no longer includes hit counters in core, following a request for comment, which means that Special:PopularPages and the "Most Viewed Pages" section of Special:Statistics are now removed. The hit numbers, which occurred until the 1.25 upgrade was installed, will still be kept in the database, but they will no longer be updated. If you want to continue using this functionality: It has been re-implemented into [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters Extension:HitCounters]."
