I would suggest using the Statsd counters that WikimediaEvents exposes to MediaWiki JavaScript (including Gadgets and user scripts!). This is a public API, with aggregate data publicly accessible via Grafana.
These require no server-side configurations, schemas, or private data access. And (on the flipside) also do not record any personal information. To use it, call mw.track( counter.gadget_<gadgetname>.<metricname> ) in your gadget. For example: mw.track( 'counter.gadget_VariantAlly.storage_empty_dialog' ); To make visualising easier, I've put together a generic dashboard to plot these: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000037/gadget-stats -- Timo Tijhof https://timotijhof.net/ On Mon, 27 Nov 2023, at 09:33, psnbaotg via Wikitech-l wrote: > > Hi there, > > I'm User:Diskdance, and recently I'm developing a default gadget for Chinese > Wikipedia enhancing MediaWiki's variant handling logic, and under certain > circumstances a prompt is shown at page load asking for a user's preferred > variant.
