[edit] More info
- See a live demo.
- http://www.google.com/analytics/
- It is possible to use Google Analytics in MediaWiki without tracking sysop users. However, you will need to modify the source code of your SkinTemplate.php file. For more info: http://www.pesme.net.
- You can also track outbound links and direct file downloads (requires use of previous link) more info here.
