Extension:Google Analytics Integration

This extension inserts Google Analytics tracking code in every MediaWiki page that is viewed. The extension excludes pages being viewed by users with 'protect' privileges (sysops) and users with 'bot' privileges (bots) to prevent pollution of the statistics. To use a version that also ignores logged-in users, see the 'See also' section at the end of this page.
