Hi all,
I'm using a traffic log analysis tool and Google analytics to see what people are doing on my wiki site. As you know if you don't do pretty url modifications (e.g. still use index.php?title=... format), you only see index.php in the outputs of the analysis results. Would using short urls (e.g. domain/w/title) help in this regard? In other words, if I use short urls, will I be able to see the hits individual pages get?
Thanks.

When I tried using google sitemaps[1] it wouldn't work because my rewriting made all hits to nonexistant page return as OK instead of 404/etc. My mediawiki is in the root and has rewriting.
If your installation is in a subdirectory (domain/w/title) it should work fine for you, even with rewriting.
