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.  This is also a motive in [[Wikimedia corruption]], as control of [[Wikimedia]] leads to far more hits on [[Bomis]] than would otherwise be the case.

::It's disabled for performance reasons. memcaching pages would not be applicable if the counter were enabled, so it's not corruption, it's '''pragmatism''' --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 13:21, 16 Jul 2004 (EEST)

:::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.
