Feature request
It would be useful to have this include redirects, or follow redirects, or to combine the views from multiple pages. For example, to be able to display a comprehensive and intuitive continuous page-views count after an article title change/move.
An example of the problem can be seen near the bottom of Talk:Russo-Ukrainian_War#Requested_move_9_June_2020, for a page move on June 16, 2020. —Michael Z.

Per the thread directly above, change width|800 to width|570 so that the graphs don't spill over into the right-hand menu on desktop. Belbury (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Change this to a link
Currently, every page with this template is appearing in Category:Pages with disabled graphs. It's about a third of the pages there.
What's not happening is even worse: People are seeing the error message, when we could give them a link to https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/.
I'd like to (temporarily/reversibly) change this template so that the existing code, e.g., from Talk:Cancer:
{{Graph:PageViews|365}}
could produce a relevant link like:
instead of an error message. If/when the underlying software problems get fixed, we could revert back to the on-screen version at that time. In the meantime, people could see the graphs just by clicking the link. What do you think?
