/* How to treat entries with wikis which lost popular pages extension? */ reply to Manorainjan
:"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]."

== How to treat entries with wikis which lost popular pages extension? ==
We all know that the extension which is needed to calculate the wF is no longer included in the standard installation of MediaWiki. Therefore most wikis do not have this capability any more. While updating the stats one can still update the pages count. But what is to be done with the wF section in such a case?
* Delete the old data?
Has nobody any opinion on this? --[[User talk:Manorainjan|'''<span style="color: orange;">Manorainjan</span>''']] 16:46, 17 January 2018 (PST)
:Do not delete anything. Keep the existing [[wikiFactor]] number, and it's URL. If possible, search for the PP URL in either [[Archive.org]] and / or [[archive.is]]. The {{template|Size boilerplate}} (duplicated on {{template|Wiki boilerplate}} have been modified to provide separate dates for page count and wikiFactor.
