Technical notes

Similar to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Single talk.

The core of this is Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Article list maker, which uses Module:Signpost to fetch article lists from indices.

These indices are at places like Module:Signpost/index/2022. These indices are (as of December 2022) populated by User:Mr._Stradivarius/gadgets/SignpostTagger.

Another task of the article list maker is to apply custom formatting to the entries it gets, which it does here according to the template at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Article list maker/View count. This, itself, uses Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Pageview hack, which is itself a modified version of Template:Graph:PageViews (that allows for arbitrary date ranges).

Note that, as of June 2023, the Graph extension is completely arseways, so this template is mostly busted. Even if it's not busted, it isn't very good. Try Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Tables/Issue pageviews. jp×g 02:24, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
