The GTag extension lets you insert the new Google Analytics tracking tag on your MediaWiki site ("gtag.js").
InstallationEdit
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
GTagin yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
wfLoadExtension( 'GTag' ); $wgGTagAnalyticsId = 'UA-xxxxxxxxx-x' or 'G-XXXXXXXX'; // replace this with your Google Analytics id
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration parametersEdit
- $wgGTagAnalyticsId (string)
- Google Analytics id, required.
- $wgGTagAnonymizeIP (boolean, default false)
- If true, anonymize the IP address sent to Google Analytics.
- $wgGTagHonorDNT (boolean, default true)
- If true, honor "Do Not Track" requests from browsers. If false, ignore such requests.
- $wgGTagTrackSensitivePages (boolean, default true)

User rightsEdit
