Hi Jdlrobson,
this is a notification from MediaWiki that a new thread on Extension talk:MobileFrontend, 'X-Analytics/mobile tracking?', was created on 13 March 2014 at 16:35 by Kchurch05
You can see it at < http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension_talk:MobileFrontend&...
The text is: We're using Piwik and Google Analytics, and currently the only way we can determine whether a visitor used our wiki on a mobile device is via the browser model, since we don't have a mobile URL -- and even then it's not 100% accurate, since some people prefer to use the desktop version of the site instead of the mobile version.
I did a search and saw [https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/X-Analytics this article] on [[Analytics/Kraken/Data Formats|X-Analytics]]. I'm not a MW expert so I'm not 100% clear on what X-A does, and from the code linked it seems to only track whether a user is in alpha or beta mode.
We're currently running MW 1.21 so the X-Analytics doesn't seem to be included in that MobileFrontend version. Hopefully we'll upgrade ASAP, but I wanted to see if this was a way to get better data on mobile usage of our wiki.
Thanks all!
