Add auto-computed "Popular Descendants" #25

Description

@GoogleCodeExporter
When there is a choice about which branch to take, it would be good to know 
what can be reached in each direction. To do this we will need two new fields 
in the wiki:

1) Has Level of Interest: This will rank entries by how interested and how well 
known they are. So Human, Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops should all be high, 
while Daspletosaurus would be low. Eventually I think this should be based (at 
least in part) off of search statistics.

2) Has Descendants of Interest: Using the Has Level of Interest field, this 
should automatically propagate the entries with the highest levels of interest 
up the tree. As far as I know, this will have to be done in a new MediaWiki 
extension (in PHP).

When this is done, then a new issue should be created to show the "Descendants 
of Interest" in the viewer.
