Forum:Most visited pages gone?

Special:Mostvisitedpages doesn't seem to be a special page anymore, is it coming back, was it a bug, or is it gone? Imanie 01:22, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * You may be thinking of Special:PopularPages which also doesn't work on Wikia. You should ask Wikia at Special:Contact. After doing a little research it appears that Special:PopularPages was removed either late in version 1.15 of the MediaWiki software or 1.16. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 28 Aug 2011 10:16 PM Pacific

This question was answered in the Wikia IRC channel: [2011-08-24 14:35:25]  Let's ask sannse. Do you know why Special:Mostvisitedpages is gone? [2011-08-24 14:35:43]  Mostvisitedpages was removed like a week ago in TRAC [2011-08-24 14:36:23]  http://trac.wikia-code.com/changeset/41017/ [2011-08-24 14:40:02] so it seems the script that updated that has been broken for some time... but the special page was on - so the data was misleading [2011-08-24 14:40:33] they took it out the special page recently to review [2011-08-24 14:41:19]  So it's just going into the shop, hopefully to be fixed? [2011-08-24 14:41:42] not likely [2011-08-24 14:42:05] its a very old crude code, being very much replaced by newer things that scale better to hundreds of thousands of wikis [2011-08-24 14:42:52]  Well, I guess that's better than something that doesn't work :P [2011-08-24 14:42:57] lots of bits of old cruft will start getting cleared out over the next few weeks --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 19:22, August 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a shame. That was a useful special page. Hopefully there will be some other way to see page views in a list. --VS3025 22:38, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
