Configuration parameters

By default Anonymous users and sysops are skipped from stats recording. To change this add following to LocalSettings.php..

Start with :

$wgWSStats=array();

Allow statistics for anonymous users..

//Record anonymous users
$wgWSStats['skip_anonymous']=false;

Skip users in the following groups..

//Skip if user is in following groups
$wgWSStats['skip_user_groups'][]='sysop';
$wgWSStats['skip_user_groups'][]='admin';

Count all hits..

$wgWSStats = array();
$wgWSStats['count_all_usergroups'] = true;

NOTE: If you have set $wgWSStats['count_all']=true; then $wgWSStats['skip_user_groups'] is ignored.

Skip page with certain text in their referer url. Default action=edit and veaction=edit are ignored. This configuration option is case sensitive.

$wgWSStats['ignore_in_url'][] = 'Template:Test';
$wgWSStats['ignore_in_url'][] = 'action=edit';

Using the parser functions

To retrieve statistics you can use the following parser function :

Ask number of hits for page id : 9868

{{#wsstats:id=9868}}

Ask number of hits for page id : 714 since start date 2018-09-01

{{#wsstats:id=714
|start date=2018-09-01}}

Ask number of hits for page id : 714 since start date 2018-02-01 and end date 2018-09-08

{{#wsstats:id=714
|start date=2018-02-01|end date=2018-09-08}}

If no statistics the result will be 0
