A handful of students in a class I teach hadn't
realized that the Wikipedia
was 1) user written, 2) editable, or 3) discussable. They never even tried
the tabs at the top, so a student put the question to me in class today:
how many of those that access a page access its discussion page? On
#wikipedia folks noted that such a feature is possible with Wikimedia but
disabled and any such statistics are hard to get since there's so much and
can hurt performance if enabled.
Any other thoughts?
Will it really hurt us if we enable those statistics? Or is this just
one of those 'wiki-urban-mythgs'?
And yes, it's just one more thing we don't know about ourselves... I
wonder if I should send another 'status enquiry' about the GUS :> It
looks less and less likely we will do it this year :(
