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 GTag in your extensions/ 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.

$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): If true, insert tracking code into sensitive pages such as Special:UserLogin and Special:Preferences. If false, no tracking code is added to these pages.

gtag-exempt: Users granted this right will not be tracked by Google Analytics. This can be useful to exempt staff groups from being tracked, to get a better idea of what your end users are doing on the wiki.
