Manual talk:$wgHitcounterUpdateFreq

I don't get this. Does this mean if it is set to a high number, that the statistics will be less accurate, or just that it won't hurt the DB as much and will still be the same stats? Does that make sense? --12.219.111.23 04:05, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The statistics will still be gathered accurately, it just will be shown with some delay. --CodeMonk 03:29, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure? Because "any higher value n cause them to update on average every n hits" doesn't sound like that. --Subfader 14:10, 30 April 2010 (UTC)


 * To answer my own question: I'm using it for quite a while now and it seems to work properly, although I wonder how it can boost performance??? --Subfader 15:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought it should be something about privacy, not performance. --219.139.224.121 07:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
