Page view statistics (or Pageview stats ) is a tool for Wikipedia pages which shows how many people have visited an article in a given time period. Like the search engine tests , it has some limitations. Before using such statistics in a discussion about the page, several things must be considered. There are software limitations (or, more exactly, conclusions that may not be taken from the provided data) and circumstances that may influence them, both from inside and outside Wikipedia. Typically, the item which ranks first in the Wikipedia Page View Statistics is Special:Export/SynchronizationStartTime: . However, the article which would actually qualify as an article in the English Wikipedia, which typically has the highest page view statistics, is the Main Page of Wikipedia.
Page View Tool
It refers to the number of times a particular page has been requested . Using toolforge:pageviews , it is possible to see statistics on how often Wikipedia pages have been viewed during various times. These figures do not reflect the number of unique visitors a page has received. [ 1 ]
The pageview stats tool is available from any page, in two ways: 1) Click "Page information" under "Tools" in the sidebar and then "Page view statistics" at the bottom. 2) Click the history tab and then "Pageviews" near the top. User:PrimeHunter/Pageviews.js adds a link directly under "Tools" for registered users.
Page stats can help determine how popular a page is, but are not an indication of a topic's notability. Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines are based on coverage found in reliable sources . If a page's stats are low, it is not a reason to consider it for deletion , and if high it is not a reason to save it from deletion .
