Hi, guys,
Currently, I am working on a Wiki Project, I am trying to track some wiki users' operation, like logging, and how long they spend on the wiki by patrolling etc. So is there any indicator I can get these cues? I collected the recentchanges and logevents, but I think these are not enough.
Anyone knows this?
thanks, Marc

You'll have to make do with this data. We don't track how much time people actually spend reading or doing whatever they do on wikis. The MediaWiki software doesn't have a feature to track this data, and doing this on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia projects would violate WMF's privacy policy AFAIK. The best you can do, both for Wikimedia wikis and 3rd-party MediaWiki instances, is try to identify "streaks" of logged activity (patrols, edits, etc.) and designate them as sessions. This should give you an idea of what a given user's activity pattern looks like, using public data.
