The main point of this extension is to expose pageview numbers in a standard way in MediaWiki (via the API and as a PHP service) so other extensions / tools can build on it (and don't have to know where the pageview data comes from). Complicated UIs are probably better built as tools or gadgets IMO.

Thanks, that makes sense. If there are existing gadgets that might do this, let me know. Otherwise I'll ask over at the pageviews API

arwiki uses Extension:Graph (via a talk page template) to display page view stats. Not sure how the coming partial decommissioning of Graph will affect that though.

Do you know of any other extensions that might be able to replicate the same function? It would be great to be able to display the information in a similar style to the dimensions and altmetrics badges.

On second thought, exposing pageviews via Scribunto's Lua API seems like a reasonable thing to do for PageViewInfo (and then the UI-building part could be done in a template).

I'm not aware of other extensions of a similar functionality. Of course you can do pretty much anything with gadgets.
