I shared this at English Wikipedia WikiProject Medicine's talk page. We use
this a lot for medical articles and needed this because the COVID-19
articles change names so much
thanks

MusikAnimal,
I don't want to undervalue the work needed to support backend and
data, which must not besmall. But I wanted to praise the great job
I've seen on frontend development on both
https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews and the other pageview api tool,
wikistats
https://stats.wikimedia.org (to you, fdans, Marcel, Kaldari,
Dan, Nuria and many others). Using those tools are highly enjoyable,
which is something rare to say in today's web applications.
Great work everybody, those 2 are my favourite standalone Wikimedia
tools in the last few years!

Hey MusikAnimal,
That's super cool, thanks. I'm wondering what you do this "under the
hood". Do you first get all redirects and then call the pageviews API for
each of them and sum-up?
Thx
