Introduction

StatMediaWiki is a project that creates tools to collect and aggregate information available in a MediaWiki installation. StatMediaWiki is free software under the GPL v3 or higher license. There are currently two versions of this software: Classic (stable software) and Interactive (currently Beta).

Classic StatMediaWiki

Results are static HTML pages including tables and graphics that can help to analyze the wiki status and development.
