What happened to the previous edit counter and pie chart? With all due respect, the new 'system' looks like someone's overly involved science project. Are all these new features, graphs, charts, mini-pie charts, etc, etc really necessary? Who really needs all of these features? Besides that, the new edit counter takes -very- long to come up. Is there a way to go back to the previous edit counter?

I think you're talking about how the Supercount tool now redirects to XTools. That was done by @Cyberpower678. I will say that soon, XTools will allow you to specify which sections you want to see. With that, you could hide the "Timecard", "Top edited pages", etc., and effectively get only the information Supercount provided.

@Gwillhickers A new version of XTools has been released that allows you to select which stats you want to see in the Edit Counter. If you want it to match Supercount, I think that would include "general stats", "namespace totals", "year counts" and "month counts". You can generate links using the form at https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec. So for instance, a link for Gwillhickers could be constructed like this:

https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Gwillhickers?sections=general-stats%7Cnamespace-totals%7Cyear-counts%7Cmonth-counts

@Cyberpower678 I don't know if you want the Supercount redirect to just show these sections, but it's now an option.

@MusikAnimal If you can pickup referers, you can certainly make it a default option if you detect that the user just got redirected from Supercount. But Supercount is old, insecure and vulnerable. For now it will exist to redirect to a properly developed tool.
