On wiki sites powered by the now ubiquitous [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] wiki engine, the output which displayed the view count of every page on the wiki in its page footer; along with a numerically ranked listing of the most viewed pages on the wiki was found on a special page called <tt>Special:PopularPages</tt>. This was previously enabled by default as part of the core MediaWiki software package. However, this feature was subsequently disabled within the MediaWiki core with the release of {{Mw|MediaWiki 1.25#Hit counters removed|MediaWiki version 1.25}} (MW v.1.25), although all hit numbers prior to v1.25 were retained in the database of the individual wiki site. In order to re-enable the <tt>Special:PopularPages</tt> on a wiki site using MW v.1.25 or later, an additional {{Mw|Manual:Extensions|extension}} from MediaWiki called {{Mw|Extension:HitCounters|HitCounters}} is required. | On wiki sites powered by the now ubiquitous [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] wiki engine, the output which displayed the view count of every page on the wiki in its page footer; along with a numerically ranked listing of the most viewed pages on the wiki was found on a special page called <tt>Special:PopularPages</tt>.
