It's a good thing. But instead of discussing on [[en:Wikipedia:Pageviews]]it should be done in [[meta:Pageviews]]
Cool. I'll move it.
You should also check the work already done by LeonWeber. It's live in de: The JS code is in http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Pagecounter.js The tool is running on the toolserver. http://pgcount.wikimedia.de/ is an alias.
I've heard about this.
You can see the top100 queries at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~leon/stats/pageview/temp.php It's beta but will be released in the next days. He'll implement it for other wikis... after vactions.
I was thinking that it would be very useful and interesting if: 1) This data was kept in a WM databases, so it could be accessed on any page's "history". 2) For admins and (perhaps) logged-in users other tools were available that would rank search queries, category listings, etc. by page ranking.
Not *trivial*. But doable.
Only showing top doesn't reveal lees seen pages (and remember that seen != watched)
Exactly. It would be nice to see it on a page-by-page basis. However, it looks like past the top 100 the resolution is pretty low (small quantities can't carry much information). Would it be worthwhile to count a larger percentage of the pageviews so that we can see the minor differences between page rank #1000 and page rank #10,000? Could this method scale up to 5% of pageviews, 10%, etc.?
Another problem could be avoiding spamming the view list.
I'm not clear what you mean by this.
