Because I agree that the installer could need a little more exposure, I've made two changes: * Installer is now at the MediaWiki main level of Special:LanguageStats[1,2] * Installer is now reported in the overview stats that are generated on daily basis[3,4] [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/97708/2/groups/MediaWiki/MediaWiki.yaml [2] https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:LanguageStats [3] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/97889/1/bin/stats-mediawiki [4] https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Group_statistics Cheers!
