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

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!
