I took a static HTML page that had a CGI-based counter on it, and put it in MediaWiki. I then took the count that was on its CGI-based counter, and put that in the mw_cur.cur_counter field. Great! It shows up on that page with the proper count, and increments with each hit! http://www.IslandSeeds.org

However, this did not cause it to show up in Special:Popularpages. Is there someplace else that the count needs to be stuffed for it to be seen by Special:Popularpages?

Thanks!
