This was a good feature. Even if it was probably software-intensive. Are there alternatives?--[[User:Max Sinister|Max Sinister]] ([[User talk:Max Sinister|talk]]) 03:45, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

:{{Mw|Extension:HitCounters}} generates the identical '[[Popular pages]]' output.  It was totally re-written (by Mark A. Hershberger, MediaWiki software developer) to prevent the server-intensive loading of the original incarnation.  But this replacement HitCounters is not included in the core MediaWiki software - it needs to be installed as a separate extension.

:::: At the very least, we could use Spiecial:MostLinkedPages to tell different kinds of wikis apart. But that's a different thing.--[[User:Max Sinister|Max Sinister]] ([[User talk:Max Sinister|talk]]) 10:44, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

:::::Did you want to start a new list article, maybe [[List of wikis by number of most linked-to pages]]?  (Note that the [[Special:MostLinkedPages]] here on WikiIndex is broken, along with many other SpecialPages).  [[:Category:Lists]] gives a few examples of what we currently report on, but obviously, we could do with more help to output our data!  This will also need new Semantic properties creating, along with a new field in either the [[Template:Wiki|Wiki infobox template]], or [[Template:Size|Size stats box template]].
:::::Are you able to create a bot to pull such data from other sites?  If so, a separate bot account ought to be created.
:::::My only caution is that this new list will be a MediaWiki-centric output (which will be fine for use on [[WikiApiary]]), and might not include the many other wiki engines which are in use.  [[User:Hoof Hearted|<big>Sean P</big>, <small>''aka'' Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]] / [[Staff]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 13:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
