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

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.

Alternatives are Google Analytics, but that has potentially serious issues with data security, and can cause conflicts with other MediaWiki extensions and dependencies! Sean P, aka Hoof Hearted • _{Admin / 'Crat / Staff} • talk2HH 23:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

I see. Maybe we could use an alternative that doesn't measure page views, but nonetheless help to categorize Wikis. What about most-linked pages? After all, Wikis are all about linked informations...--Max Sinister (talk) 10:32, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
