[edit] Description
It is usually interesting to find out how you, as a user of the wiki have been performing over time. Just as interesting for wiki admins, is to find out how the wiki has been growing over time. This extension provide the capability to view this data in a graphical form. Note: currently, this extension has the limitation of being a bit slow in processing the data which may cause it to time out in cases of >100k pages.
[edit] Installation Instructions
[edit] Step 1
Download the extension code (all three files) from SVN and place it in the extensions/UsageStatistics/ directory.
[edit] Step 2
Add the following text to your LocalSettings.php
require_once( "$IP/extensions/UsageStatistics/SpecialUserStats.php" );
[edit] Step 3
Follow the installation instructions to install the GNUPlot extension.
[edit] Step 4
Make sure that your MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css pages contain a section on Dynamic Navigation Bars. If it does not, or if that page simply does not exist, then make sure to get those pages from Wikipedia (wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.js and wikipedia:MediaWiki:Common.css).
[edit] Usage
There should now be a new Special Page in your Special:Specialpages list called Usage Statistics. Go to this page. Select a Start Date, End Date, the interval , and the type (cumulative or incremental) of usage extraction.
Click the Generate Statistics button and voila. The output page will contain a graph of usage statistics for the logged in user.
If the logged in user has the viewsystemstats user right (by default, only members of the sysop and manager groups do), then in addition to their personal statistics, they will also see the usage statistics for the entire wiki both in graphical form and CSV raw data form.
