Add a counter to articles?[edit]
- Swept in from the pub
Hello, I'd like to know if it would be possible to add a counter to Wikivoyage articles, so that editors could see how many times a particular page has been viewed. Would this be possible? Any interest? (WT-en) SONORAMA 09:29, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
- I'd second that suggestion, if it is feasible. I haven't been able to find any statistics on article views, which would be useful and interesting. --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald Talk 09:34, 1 May 2007 (EDT)
- $wgDisableCounters is likely set to "yes" in LocalSettings.php as a mater of style because hit counters are so last century. The simple hit counter also counts search engine spiders and other robot spider hits. So it is not an accurate measure of human page visits. I keep the hit counter display turned on in my wiki so I wont feel so lonely (see top of the centered text block at bottom of any regular page at http://wikigogy.org ). We don't need that at Wikivoyage because Wikivoyage actually rocks. Page edits and quality of text is a more accurate measure of community interest in a wiki. (WT-en) Evan could probably turn the counter display back on if persuaded. Do we really want it though? --(WT-en) Rogerhc 00:43, 3 June 2007 (EDT)
- I like the idea, as well...the site's high traffic reflects well on all the good work going into these articles. (WT-en) Redondo 19:42, 13 June 2007 (EDT)

How to edit Special:Upload ?[edit]
I want to change Special:Upload to prevent the upload of audio and video files. Is it possible to get this edited specifically for Wikivoyage or is it controlled from the Mediwiki site? --Andrewssi2 (talk) 01:54, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
