Hi GreenReaper,

Any idea how to find a list of popular pages in this list. I think it's a new default behavior of MediaWiki (since 1.15.*), to not countig page visits. Regards --Wolf | talk 04:03, 11 November 2009 (EST)

We've deliberately turned off page counts to reduce database load. It wouldn't be accurate, anyway, as we use Squid to cache responses for anonymous users - we get a lot of them! However, we also use Google Analytics to monitor access, and I have a report of popular pages from a few months ago that you might find useful (the additional reports show pages chosen for translation to other languages). You are also welcome to access our Analytics account directly if you have a Google/Gmail account I can add. Bear in mind that we moved to our own hosting just a few months ago; reader traffic is only half of what it was at Wikia, though it is increasing steadily. GreenReaper 11:28, 11 November 2009 (EST)
