Before I put a proposal onto the village pump, I wanted to make sure it's even possible: Can Special:PrefStats be activated for all Gadgets (the JS gadgets that can be enabled in Special:Pref). This would make it easier for JS devs to track the number of times a gadget is used, as well as estimate possible impacts of code changes.
Forgot to mention: I'm talking about commons
Interesting question, I was wondering about that too. In the meantime, I found: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UsabilityInitiative#PrefStats http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Prefstats-noprefs http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/PrefStats/SpecialPrefStats.php?view=markup http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Prefstats-noprefs currently reads "No preferences are currently being tracked. Configure $wgPrefStatsTrackPrefs to track preferences." If you know the values for gadget preferences, maybe these could be used directly in MediaWiki:Prefstats-noprefs.
Lol, it needs to go into $wgPrefStatsTrackPrefs, Prefstats-noprefs is just the error message.
Yes, it can be done, but the page with the statistics is a bit expensive to generate right now, so it wouldn't be publicly viewable.
At Commons, there is now [[Commons:Commons:Database_reports/User_preferences]]
As PrefStats saw its last real commit two years ago this sounds like a WONTFIX.
This would require a deployment of the PrefStats extension. And for any configuration change, we require a local consensus - see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes for more information. So if this is still wanted on a specific wiki, please reopen this ticket with a link to the consensus. CLosing as INVALID for the time being.
