The '''page view''' is the normal means of measuring [[web traffic]]. It is a key factor in determining the resale value of [[second level domain]]s especially in the ".com", ".net" and ".org" [[top level domain]]s.

Accordingly much [[wiki spam]] is motivated by simple desire to increase the page views.

[[MediaWiki]] shows page view data on all wiki pages. You may see it below as | |||
::"This page has been accessed N times." | |||
where N is the number of page views. | |||
Despite this capability, however, detailed page view data is not available for [[Wikipedia]] pages themselves, which is another sign of [[Wikimedia corruption]]. | |||

:::Pragmatism is the universal excuse to rationalize corruption. How do you know what it "is" or not? Why not disable logins "for performance reasons" too, or [[watchlist]]s? They don't, because that would also disable [[sysop power structure]]. So what is "disabled for performance reasons" is highly arbitrary. | |||
