Extension talk:PrefStats

UsabilityInitiative assumed
Why assume UsabilityInitiative to be installed in the code when the extension extracts as /PrefStats/ and not /UsabilityInitiative/PrefStats/ ?? Besides LocalSettings.php, patches/PrefStats.sql the path in populatePrefStats.php has to be applied too. require_once( '../../../maintenance/commandLine.inc' ); --Subfader 17:59, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Display pref on report
When you view the report for a stat, the definition should be displayed. E.g. skin = monobook ... --Subfader 18:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * 19568 users have enabled this preference since preference statistics were activated

Gadget prefs
Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to track prefs of the Gadget section? I tried all kinds of variations, e.g.  $wgPrefStatsTrackPrefs = array(     'mw-input-gadgets-exlinks' => 1,      'input-gadgets-exlinks' => 1,      'gadgets-exlinks' => 1,      'exlinks' => 1     ); and ran populatePrefStats.php, but everything stays zero. So I assume it's not working. Is it? --Subfader 18:14, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Percentage of all users
Would be nice to see the part of all users, e.g. "387 users (4.5% of 8,596 accounts) have enabled this preference..." --Subfader 18:18, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note that "accounts" is a more proper term than "users" regarding the total number. --Subfader 21:54, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Usage?
I can't seem to get it working. I installed this extension today (MW 1.16alpha), ran the update, added some prefs to check and ran populatePrefStats.php. Now  reads and the graphic is empty.
 * 159 users have enabled this preference since preference statistics were activated
 * 0 users still have it enabled
 * 159 users have disabled it since

I checked maintenance/userOptions.php and it reports: enotifwatchlistpages --usage Usage for (default: '0'): 68 user(s): '1' Same for editondblclick. PrefStats: "15 users have enabled this" vs maintenance/userOptions.php</tt>: "22 users(s): '1'".

 * 1) I guess the maintenance/userOptions.php</tt> is correct and the report is buggy?
 * 2) Isn't the phrase "since preference statistics were activated" wrong?
 * 3) What's the 159 enabled / 159 disabled about?
 * Same differences on MW 1.17.0rc1. This extension is not stable imo! A reply would be nice too... --Subfader 21:09, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
