The reason that I'd like to know how many people clicked individual links
is that I'd like to be able to track how people navigate from LearnWiki (or
whatever its final name is) pages to pages on WIkipedia, Commons, Wikidata,
etc.
At this time I don't feel that there's much value to my project from
tracking individual users, and it's possible that I could use third party
services (that is, other than WMF's URL shortener service) to perform the
same function. I don't know how much work would be involved in setting up
detailed internal traffic logging on the LearnWiki site. Where possible, I
think that I'd prefer to take advantage of a WMF-hosted URL shortener
service that provides logging with a level of granularity that's sufficient
to be useful.
I'm open to other ideas, and I'm a novice when it comes to setting up
analytics, so if you have other ideas I'd be glad to hear them. Perhaps we
could take the discussion off-list, if you're willing to provide advice.
Thanks!

Umm, why would you want that over just looking at the
page views for a
page?
If its a, people navigating to a page internally vs externally, it would be
probably better to try to convince analytics to break down the page view
data between local and external referrers instead of relying on a url
shortener to separate hits.

Regarding "There seems to be interest in
reviving the WMF hosted URL
shortener service", +1 from me, particularly if there will be public logs
of how many people (i.e. not bots) clicked a particular short link in a
certain period of time that is long enough to provide some anonymity but
short enough to be useful for analysis (such as 24 hours).
Thanks!
