Meta talk:Historical/Meta policy

Top pages by hits

If we're thinking about what Meta is for, it might be useful to look at which pages people do actually use. Here is a list of all the pages that got more than 100 hits last month, not including things like special pages and user pages. I've tried to sort them into rough categories, but there's some overlap between categories, and a lot currently just in "other" that might fit elsewhere. I'm not sure if this is the right page for this, but it seemed relevant to the discussion of what Meta is for. Angela 15:39, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
