With the release of 1.14, pageCountInfo( $title ) in Article.php was changed to "protected" from "public." This function provides basic page count information on an article and is useful to extension authors. I have created an extension that has been using this function. It's like a "watched page" function that monitors selected pages with summaries of accesses, edits and authors. In general, there should be a trend to permitting public access for functions that provide statistical info in MW. Private or protected should be for functions that wrap up implementation details that aren't likely to be of anyone's interest.
