The Apache logs cannot be used to count page views because of system load. But we still need some way of SAMPLING page views at Wikibooks. Wiki software comes with Hit Counters as a standard feature. I would like to request that the Hit Counters are turned on for Wikibooks but configured so that they are only activated with a template that is only allowed to be used on a sample basis. (ie: applied by an administrator to a small set of pages for 7 days max). The limit could be that no more than 10 pages can have a hit counter applied at any time on the whole of Wikibooks. There are only about 40 major books in Wikibooks at the moment so we could rapidly determine which types of books are most popular, optimal navigation routes etc.
We cant count page hits on a WikiMedia hosted wiki. This is because most of the pages are served by the squids, thus never hit the apaches and the counter doesnt reflect the reality.
Changing all WONTFIX high priority bugs to lowest priority (no mail should be generated since I turned it off for this.)
