Request for new Magic Words {{PAGEWATCHERS}} and {{PAGEAUTHORS}}
Open, LowestPublicFeature

Description

Requesting a couple new magic words based on information available on Page Statistics page:

  • {{PAGEWATCHERS}} == Number of page watchers
  • {{PAGEAUTHORS}} == Total number of distinct authors

These could be useful for testing if pages meet requirements for deletion via templates.

For an example, if a user tags a page in their user space for deletion, {{PAGEAUTHORS}} would allow the template to inform the admin that only 1 person has ever edited this page and it qualifies, or it would tell them that multiple people have and they need to review it more carefully.
