Administrators (at least on en-WP) have access to the number of watchers of a page when it is less than 30. However, it seems this info shows up neither at XTools nor in the ArticleInfo gadget. Would it be possible to get it to appear for the relevant accounts?
Topic on Talk:XTools
@MusikAnimal, just quickly circling back, do you think this would be feasible?
Yes, this we can do :) With phab:T220475 on the horizon, I've been meaning to move more of the logic from the backend to WMF APIs where possible, and this would be one of them.
I'll try to look into it this week.
Also was looking for this. Guess I understand the difficulty in implementing if this pulls all the data from xtools.
@MusikAnimal, just wanted to quickly circle back about this. It's still of interest!
