There is a 'Whosonline' extension which may help. That shows who's logged in, but I think it also shows the IP address of anonymous users. John. -- ---------------------------------------------------- John Horne Tel: +44 (0)1752 587287 Plymouth University, UK

Not sure if this extension meets your needs. It does User pageview tracking. https://github.com/enterprisemediawiki/Wiretap On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 10:42 PM, John Foster <jfoster81747(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Extension:Wiretap was intended for an internal corporate wiki where transparency is more important than privacy. It is definitely too invasive for an open, Internet-facing wiki. If you insist on installing it please make it clear to your users that they are not browsing with the anonymity expected from MediaWiki. --James On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 7:16 AM, Bill Traynor <btraynor(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks! I already advise that this site is monitored for activity and also that there is no promise of anonymity as all content must be GPL'ed or similar. However I think you are correct that I should make it more prominent & better explained. excellent point! FYI: I also plan to only use this during the heavy development phases.
