Hello. I need to know the difference between Most visited pages and Most popular articles in the special pages. Thanks a lot for your answer.--Marie Irène 12:30, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

A second question: does the Most visited pages measure unique users or unique visits? In other words, does it count each user who visits that page only once or more than once? --Ultimate Frog-Man 21:03, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

1. Most popular articles is a list of content pages (mainspace or any other special namespace counted as content), while most visited pages is every namespace.
2. It counts pageviews, so if I go to the page and hit refresh a couple hundred times you'd see that amount added to Special:MostVisitedPages.
