The XAnalytics extension is used on Wikimedia wikis to communicate analytic information from MediaWiki to Wikimedia's logging infrastructure. See wikitech:X-Analytics for more details.

Installation

You probably do not want to use this extension on your own wiki. If you do want to use it, its only useful if you also set up all the logging infrastructure that Wikimedia has.

  • Download and place the file(s) in a directory called XAnalytics in your extensions/ folder.
  • Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
    wfLoadExtension( 'XAnalytics' );
    
  • Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Hooks

This extension adds a custom hook named XAnalyticsSetHeader, which is given parameters OutputPage $out and Array &$headerItems. Other extensions can use this to add additional items to the X-Analytics header.
