I've just (I think) proved a theory I've had for some time.
When you submit a new score, the 'This page has been accessed nnn times' text does not appear at the bottom of the page on the first save. If you then make a minor edit and re-save, it does appear.
Is this other people's experience?
If so, would anyone mind if I added a note to the 'Score submission guide' about this? It's nice for contributors to be able to see how much interest there has been ...

Hi Mandy. If I recall corretcly, the page access counters are not immediately updated. At least this is true for Special:Popular pages. And if memory serves me correctly, Raf lengthened the time between updates some time back, so as to decrease the load on the server.

That makes sense - thanks Chuck.
