Extension summary
Displays view count information on all Wikipedia articles. When the user navigates to a Wikipedia article, an embedded plot will open on the right side of the page showing the volume, 12-day moving average, and 26-day moving average of views for the past several months. An average view/day item is also calculated and presented to the user. All formatting and styling is as close to that found natively on Wikipedia as possible.
When viewing an article pertaining to a movie or TV show, data will be scraped from IMDb and added to the frame, such as rating, volume, MPAA information and more. Similarly, data scraped from Goodreads is presented when viewing an article for a novel or series. When viewing an article for a cryptocurrency the current ticker price (along with some extra data) will be scraped from CoinMarketCap.
All trending articles (the top 1,000 viewed) from the prior day can be displayed via the button embedded on the lefthand side of the page, when on Wikipedia.
The popularity information pane can be hidden using the 'Hide Frame' button and re-displayed using 'Expand Frame'.
All data is fetched on-the-fly from the Wikimedia API. View data going back several years can be downloaded using the download button located within the frame.
