Extension:HitCounters

The HitCounters extension provides the page views functionality that was removed in MediaWiki 1.25.

Configuration
The extension in its current form is very lightweight. It has been cleaned up removing all lines of superfluous source code saving processing time. Among other benefits, the numerous database queries, which the old MediaWiki Core code did on every single page hit, are all skipped in the new implementation. Thereby possibly arising inaccuracies in data display are considered acceptable in favour of the performance boost.

Incompatible extensions

 * Extension:Semantic Extra Special Properties - it is not incompatible in a classic sense. It just fails to provide a specific feature.
 * Extension:DynamicPageList_(third-party) - probably all other forks of DPL, too.
