 * Page view statistics have been disabled to reduce load (and to speed up the site). -- 19:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there any chance of them coming back at some point? This is something that I really liked and appreiated.--Alisonnic (talk) 21:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Doubtful, unfortunately. They were mostly wrong anyway. -- 21:05, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The WikiIndex article about Wowpedia, like all WikiIndex articles, uses something called a 'wikiFactor' to scientifically assess how popular various wikis are. The wikiFactor is based on a formula that involves looking at the popular pages and seeing how many visits each one has had. From a statistical point of view, Special:Popularpages gives really useful information about the wiki, so like Alisonnic, I would also like to see this feature return, when possible.
 * (I have also been enjoying watching the wikiFactor of Wowpedia rise towards the level that WoWWiki has, and was hoping to see how long it would be before the popularity of this wiki, overtook the wiki that uses its old name. I was very sorry to see the feature had to be turned off.) David Shepheard (talk) 21:10, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
