Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T157602

Articleinfo (aka Page history): xtools-articleinfo

Planned changes

Header

• Add a way to start a new search without hitting the back button
• Make language links into a single dropdown
• Take out top link to Language Tool WikiCheck (404 error - see phab:T152049 for details)

General statistics

• Wikidata ID: change "## items" to "## sitelinks"
• Take out blue line on the left side next to Total revisions/Number of editors
• Change Ø to Avg
• First edit and last edit should have links to diff
• Fix stats for "Links to this page" and "Redirects"
• Fix pageviews (60 days), link to pageviews analysis tool
• Bugs/Todo icon is broken, either fix or remove

Year counts

• Better looking charts and font rendering
• "Events" has no data, fix it (if it means something) or remove it (if it doesn't)

Pageviews

• Take out this section (60 days pv and link to pageviews analysis tool are in the General statistics section)

Top editors

• Link to "Export as wikitable" works sporadically, appears to be a different tool. Remove for now.
• Make "# edits" the heading for column 3, rather than #¹
• Better looking charts and font rendering

Bugs

• Take out broken link to LanguageTool (404)
• The bug section for Wikipedia articles seems to only show Wikidata bugs. Is this intentional? Should it be fixed?

Assessments

• Pull in data from PageAssessments API.
• If the wiki doesn't have assessments, don't show this section.

Month counts

• No changes needed?

• I like the plan, thanks for the concise and detailed listing. My only suggestion would be to add new functionality (perhaps longer-term) - The "Year counts" graph has a legend item saying "Protect", but there's no indication of protection status in (the usually semi-protected) https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-articleinfo/?article=Elephant&project=en.wikipedia.org - that'd be nice to add!
