Ooo, shiny!  Thanks for the great tip.

Is there any way to use addTrackingCategory (or similar) if the category name 
must be computed at runtime, not a piece of static text in a system message 
file?  Our parser tag doesn't actually categorize articles in "Category:Pages 
that hit SQL Server databases" -- this was a simplification.  It actually 
categorizes as "Category:Pages that hit SQL Server database %s", where %s is 
the name of the database (passed as a parameter to the parser tag).

This is why $wgMessageCache->addMessage() worked so well.

A variant $parser->addTrackingCategory($msg, $args...) would work great if it 
existed.

Thanks so much for your help,
DanB
