Add option to show the number of incoming wiki links to each article
Open, In Progress, LowPublicFeature

Description

This would surface which pages are most popular to editors, as opposed to the pageviews column which surfaces pages most popular to readers. In other words, a lot of incoming links from other articles suggest you started a valuable one.

Fun and should be fairly simply feature addition to the Pages Created tool.

Side note: we apparently don't have a pageviews column anymore. I suppose it's not cheap to mass-get, given we're using an external API.

Need to check the performance impact of link checking.
