Currently we're in talks with WM-DE, so they will provision some storage for long-term archives of raw data, and we will probably add image view statistics then. Good stuff, right?

On sv.wikipedia there is a "gadget" that creates a "stats" tab on each page. That's very useful. Why don't more languages of Wikipedia have that gadget installed?

Exactly! This is poor design. I have an account (through SUL) on the Ukrainian Wikipedia because I sometimes add interwiki links there. I want the same gadgets there, but I don't speak Ukrainian and I can't go around bothering local admins on every language with this. Gadgets should follow the user, just like the account name and password do. There must be a better way than the current one.

We should also make it possible to have "global gadgets" controlled on Meta-Wiki. This would be especially useful for hiding the Fundraising banner. ;-)

Agree. There should be some kind of "global gadgets", and also "default gadgets". Now, we need to rephrase it in a way that it shows beneficial to dewiki, so we can put a WM-DE employee to fulfill it ;)
