It's also be useful to be able to see how many editors, authors etc there
were in the past 24 hours - again, I'm not sure if this is doable, but I
thought I'd throw it out there!
Yes, I had a similar thought last evening. :-) I've filed a few bugs about
this:
* "Incorporate analytics into MediaWiki's info action (tracking)"
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/41326
* "Add page views graph(s) to MediaWiki's info action"
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/41327
* "Add edit history graph(s) to MediaWiki's info action"

Why is this for admins only?
Good question! There's a thorough explanation of the background of this at
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/39957>.
In short, the plan going forward is to make this value configurable
per-wiki. So you'll have an "or" condition. Users will be able to see the
number of page watchers if they have the "unwatchedpages" user right (by
default, administrators have this user right) _or_ if the number of watchers
meets or exceeds the value set (on a per-wiki basis) via a new configuration
variable ($wgUnwatchedPageThreshold). So, for example, the English Wikipedia
might set this value to 30, while smaller wikis might set it lower.

History pages on en:wp already have a link to stats.grok.se, shouldn't
be hard to put such a link here as well.
In fact, it's already there and has been for a few weeks. ;-) Part of the
design of the action was to add a header and footer section. In this case,
those exact links from ?action=history (where not all of them ever made much
sense, honestly) have been copied to ?action=info. The relevant system
message is <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Pageinfo-footer>.
