Include article view counts in the "Articles" page

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

I like to use the article view counts to inform me which campaign resources my TTRPG players are using most often and which they are less interested in. However currently the only way to see article view counts is to open the article itself and then click on "Metadata". This is cumbersome when you have many articles, and also appears to add your own views to the counts, making them less informative.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Including the article view counts somewhere in the "Articles" menu would make them much more readily accessible, as well as more accurate, as the articles wouldn't need to be viewed in order to see the counts.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

This would be helpful for any user looking to accurately and conveniently track interest in their articles, regardless of the reason.

Thanks to SoulsLink for pointing out that this is already accessible in the Articles menu, via "Expand article list"

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! As SoulLink (and yourself in the follow-up) says, this is already possible.

    There is a Most Viewed filter in the Articles menu to sort by most viewed and you can check view count directly on each article in the center column. Which is I feel exactly what you are asking for no?

    it feels like it will clutter the interface and will not add much.
