As mentioned at T251464 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251464>, EventLogging <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EventLogging> is currently blocked by EasyPrivacy <https://easylist.to/> (a popular add-on for ad blocking software) due to EventLogging sending its data to a URL that includes the blacklisted string "beacon/event". In some cases, this makes it difficult or impossible for us to get the analytics data we need to make product decisions, e.g. T240697 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240697>. Two questions:
1. Is it reasonable to say that ad blockers should not be blocking EventLogging (since it's just an internal logging system)? 2. If the answer to #1 is "yes", could we change the URL that EventLogging uses so that it is no longer blacklisted by ad blockers? -- *Ryan Kaldari* (they/them) Director of Engineering, Product Department Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>
