Thanks Bryan. I'm not sure about this: * useless metric We find it very useful for the development lifecycle. Specifically, Step 5, feedback. We use it to determine what pages should be extra polished, and what users are having problems with. Hmmm.... * better served by an extension * Extension:Google Analytics or similar I'm not sure it is a good idea to track users or force users to surrender their data to Google. Wiki administrators should not set that policy for a user. Agreeing to tracking and surrendering data should be a user's choice.
