AFAIK, ClickTracking depends on UserDailyContribs. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UserDailyContribs states that UserDailyContribs is still deployed on WMF servers. Is phasing out UserDailyContribs also planned? It's still listed on https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt Are the remaining two open ClickTracking bug reports WONTFIX? Shall the Bugzilla component "ClickTracking" be closed for new bug entry? Thanks, andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

Hi everyone! Aren't you too quick about this "phasing out" thing? First of all the term is pretty weird - if the current maintainer don't want to support the extension anymore we use [[Template:Unmaintained_extension]] and ideally search for new maintainer don't we? The fact that the maintainer is WMF doesn't have to change anything. The second thing is that Click Tracking requires the current version of MediaWiki and this makes it useful extension for the next year or two. Not many people use the devel version of MW which is need for Event Logging. ----- Yury Katkov, WikiVote On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 4:18 PM, Lukas Benedix &lt;benedix(a)zedat.fu-berlin.de&gt; wrote:

ha-ha, that sounds very innocently. :D Yes, it's one of the dependencies of ArticleFeedback.

There's some overlap (both provide some facility for pushing analytic data to the servers) but it pretty much ends there. ClickTracking uses the MediaWiki API as the logging endpoint which ended up being unsuitable for our production environment, and it doesn't provide tooling for structuring data, which made managing concurrent data collection jobs challenging. But it can still be a perfectly adequate solution for smaller wikis, depending on the use-case. It's a good idea! I'll check around first to see if it's being used by anyone. It's possible that there are analysts that utilize this data even if there is no code that depends on it. (Paging Dario..!) Well, IWONTFIXTHEM. I got burnt by ClickTracking once or twice (mostly my own stupidity, I'll admit) and I never want to deal with it again. The extension's original authors have likewise moved on to bigger and better things. I propose we wait a bit and see if any third-party users come out of the woodwork, in which case we should certainly retain the component and try to provide some casual level of support, for the sake of the MediaWiki ecosystem. If some time passes and it turns out that we were indeed the only users, then let's close it. -- Ori Livneh
