Description Jeremy Morton 2009-03-09 11:01:29 UTC
One can disable all of the functionality of page view counters using the $wgDisableCounters variable.  However, I wanted to maintain the functionality, but have the option only for sysops to view the page counts, popular pages special page, and all associated functionality.  I quite quickly managed to implement this using the $wgGroupPermissions array.  If someone can confirm that this would be an appropriate feature to have for MediaWiki I can submit a patch.

Hi Jeremy! Sorry that nobody has taken a look at this report yet and given feedback.

Would you like to share your patch here (so even if maintainers would not accept it, it could still be shared with other administrators interested in this functionality), or even put it into the Gerrit code review tool (if the patch is generic enough)? Thanks in advance!

The hitcounter feature was removed in <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/150699/>.
