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)
