I've been looking at the various GA extensions and can't find one that meets my specific requirements. I need to be able to track my whole wiki, as well as allow others to track page subsets that they're interested in tracking. These subset users should not see GA data for the entire wiki.
Is this a scenario that anyone has encountered or could offer advice on?
I'm currently experimenting with http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Analytics_Integration but it only allows for 1 GA account number, and includes all pages in the wiki.
Thanks Bill
Being able to track pages within a specific Category would also be very useful.

Every last one of the Google Analytics extensions I've seen so far is shit. The actual code to insert analytics is so short you're best off just inserting it into your LocalSettings.php and rolling in whatever custom needs you have. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/User:Dantman/Analytics...

The code of Google Analytics changes today. Anybody know if this affects the wiki sites using 'Google Analytics Integration' Extension? Or if it is planned a new version of it?

That extension was never even updated to use GA's async code. So I can't say anyone is maintaining it.
Frankly I see very little value in any of the Google Analytics extensions, the actual code to insert analytics into your wiki as config is small, and putting it directly in your LocalSettings.php instead of using an extension gives you flexibility. Hence I've always suggested people roll their own: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Dantman/Analytics_integration

I can highly recommend Daniel's tutorial. It takes a moment to assemble all of the code fragments into what you want, and you'll need to define the global variable, "$wgJsMimeType = 'text/javascript';", but the code is clean, simple and well documented, which means that with a little effort you can extend it to do whatever you want it to. For example, when Google updates their code, you just paste it into LocalSettings.

$wgJsMimeType is a core config variable with a default defined in DefaultSettings.php, you shouldn't need to set it at all.
