Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

In scans like this (and this is a useful application of this tool) https://glamtools.toolforge.org/glamorous.php?doit=1&category=Information+graphics+without+data+source&use_globalusage=1&show_details=1&projects[wikipedia]=1&projects[wikimedia]=1&projects[wikisource]=1&projects[wikibooks]=1&projects[wikiquote]=1&projects[wiktionary]=1&projects[wikinews]=1&projects[wikivoyage]=1&projects[wikispecies]=1&projects[mediawiki]=1&projects[wikidata]=1&projects[wikiversity]=1 the top files have so many uses it's difficult to get to the next and make use/sense of these results. If one scrolls down one may miss the next file because it's so long to scroll and also it's generally tedious and not overseeable and so on.

Please enable limiting the number of uses shown (by default) so it e.g. can show only some 5 uses except if a button like "Show more" is pressed for the file.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

See above. One could then go through the files one by one, taking a short time per file (for considering whether to look more into that file or skip over it). There's many other use cases for this.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

See above. It would make Commons statistics much more usable / accessible. This can be useful for maintenance activities as well as just general interest, GLAM organizations, etc.

Again, the issues tab of the Glamorous tool redirects here to phabricator. I think it would be better of these tools were moved to GitHub (or GitLab) and issues be tracked there (see script to migrate issues from bitbucket to github). That would also make it more likely that other developers contribute to these useful tools (and also for users to report bugs).
