We usually avoid these so as to stay reasonably close to the privacy expectations people have from the wikis. (I'm not too familiar with ow.ly's capacities, but if they are similar to bit.ly, I could very well imagine this to be of practical relevance here, as in "oh look, that one person we know from Madagascar clicked on our link too".) For tracking click numbers only, Twitter's own stats features should be sufficient; we could share that number with you in this case.
