[edit] Details
This setting, if enabled, allows users to get some extra information about the page by specifying "action=info" in the URL.
For example, entering http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki?action=info might generate the following (fictional) output instead of the main page contents:
MediaWiki
Information for page
- Number of watchers: 23
- Number of edits (content page): 895
- Number of distinct authors (content page): 31
Currently you have to add the action manually to the URL, as there is no link to this page regardless of the value of this setting.
Note that on most (all?) WikiMedia servers (e.g. Wikipedia, Wiktionary, etc.) this function is disabled, as it is very inefficient.
