Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Special:NewPagesFeed
- switch to AFC
- switch to NPP
What happens?:
- brief flash of a really high inaccurate count, then usually the real count is displayed after about 0.5-1 seconds
- but sometimes the "brief flash" high count gets stuck (I've seen that before)
- animated gif (click to watch):
What should have happened instead?:
- footer stats should not update until accurate count has been retrieved from pagetriagestats API. no inaccurate count should ever be displayed
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
- If we end up deleting the stats when we delete the footer (e.g. T349886: Delete Special:NewPagesFeed floating footer, and move all its stuff into the header), this ticket can be closed
