.|days=
(default: 365) can be used to change the number of pageview days depicted in the graph.|target=

is not specified) and the page for which page traffic is displayed.|title=
(default: see notes) can be used to specify the page in the graph title.|color=

Notes about the graph title
If both |title=
and |target=
are not specified, the graph title varies depending on the namespace of the page where this template is used.
- Title if placed on an article talk page:
- Daily pageviews of this article
- Title if placed on a page in any other talk namespace (e.g., "User talk:", "Template talk:", "Wikipedia talk:", etc.):
- Daily pageviews of {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}
- Title if placed on any subject page (i.e., pages in namespaces like "User:", "Template:", "Wikipedia:", etc.):
- Daily pageviews of this page
If |title=
is not specified, but |target=
is specified, the graph title is set as "Daily pageviews of target page", with the target page linked.
If |title=
is specified, regardless of the specification of |target=
, the graph title is set as "Daily pageviews of text", with the text unlinked.
- For example, inputting
|title=XYZ
would set the graph title as:- Daily pageviews of XYZ
- For example, inputting
|title=[[XYZ]]
would set the graph title as:
