#12120 [CommOps] MediaWiki - HitCounter Extension
Opened a month ago by rwright. Modified 12 days ago

NOTE

If your issue is for security or deals with sensitive info please

Describe what you would like us to do:


Please install https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:HitCounters onto the Fedora Project Wiki so we can identify frequently accessed pages of the wiki and prioritize pages to move or redirect to Docs. I do not know who needs to approve this prior - however I am submitting it to see if we can just do it. :)

As a note - this is a privacy-safe and useful way for us to measure Wiki usage. This should be consistent with the community values and still allow us to gain insight to pages still in use without being invasive and identifying users - simply hits to pages similar to other existing and approved tracking measures across the project.

From the Extension page:
HitCounters extension is minimally intrusive concerning data security and privacy concerns. The extension handles metrics on the server side, so aggregated data stays within the site's security boundary. The extension does not inject JavaScript to be executed by the client and does not ask a client to download additional un-audited code from a third party, like GoogleAnalyticsMetrics.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)


End of Month August, 2024.

We can do this. We need to package that extension up first for fedora. Our instances are running fedora latest stable (f40 right now).

It came up in the CommOps meeting today that the plugin is retired as a Mediawiki extension (see explainer here). The suggestion is to use Piwik or Google Analytics instead.
