It was implemented in October 2005, actually (not long after the knams stats
stopped IIRC); MediaWiki:Lastmodifiedat replaced an earlier message in 2006,
that is why the page history doesn't go back further.

More importantly, the privacy policy explicitly states that developers might
have access to the raw logs. The stat is thus in compliance with the letter of
the privacy policy, and I don't see why it would be countrary of its spirit. (As
stated, the only purpose is to provide statistics which include no personally
identifiable information; the operator is one of the most trusted users of the
hu.wp community, the founder of the community, the head of Wikimedia Hungary,
admin, bureaucrat, checkuser, whatnot; and the stat server was operated with the
knowledge and consent of the community. It is linked from the statistics page
and other relevant places, not exactly a secret.)

There are a few issues with this. Devs have access to logs on WMF servers,
not random external servers. The community cannot decide that Random_user1
and Random_user2 etc will agree with the communities view on the stats being
passed to an external server. Also there *may* be issues with the security
of that server that means it could be compromised and could probably be
accessed by the web hosting company if they so wished.

I still fail to see how, at this point (not before when there was no policy)
this can be considered to be acceptable. IP information etc is still being
passed to an external server, regardless of who it is being operated by. As
we can see at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Privacy and copied below I
don't see where this is acceptable.

Release: Policy on Release of Data

It is the policy of Wikimedia that personally identifiable data collected in
the server logs, or through records in the database via the CheckUser
feature, or through other non-publicly-available methods, may be released by
Wikimedia volunteers or staff, in any of the following situations:

1. In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law
enforcement,
2. With permission of the affected user,
3. When necessary for investigation of abuse complaints,
4. Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or
bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical
issues,
5. Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving
in a disruptive way, data may be released to a service provider, carrier, or
other third-party entity to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to
assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service
Providers,
6. Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or
safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.

Except as described above, Wikimedia policy does not permit distribution of
personally identifiable information under any circumstances.

Setting up an off-the-shelf awstats with an invisible pixel is web statistics
101, not something that needs to be invented. The reason nothing similar got
implemented is not that nobody thought of this method, but that it wouldn't work
with enwiki so nobody cared. Actually, the old knams stat (which also collected
referrers, so it was in some aspects superior) could have been easily kept
working by filtering out enwiki, and maybe the next few largest projects; again,
nobody cared. Features that only benefit the smaller projects rarely get enough
developer interest, which is understandable, but then it is only natural that
those smaller projects try to solve their issues for themselves. And we did it
with privacy in mind - we would have obviously preferred Google Analytics
ourselves, but we didn't switch because we didn't want the logs to leak to
servers not controlled by WM community, and because it shows data that can be
used to identify IP adresses.

It also says, a few sentences earlier, that "Sharing information with other
privileged users is not considered distribution." And Peter has identified
himself to the foundation according to the access to nonpublic data policy, so
he is a privileged user. I still don't see any violation there - the point of
the privacy policy is to regulate release of personally identifiable information
from those who have access to those who have not, and in this case no such
release happened.

Peter is CTO of a Hungarian ISP; he is the one hosting the server, and he
certainly has the required expertise. Anyway, the privacy policy explicitly
disclaims any responsibility for unauthorized access; while the security of the
server is certainly a valid issue, it is not an issue with the privacy policy.

Minor correction: Privacy-related trusted users are required to be
identified to the foundation. Yes.
But doesn't work the other way: just by sending id to the foundation doesn't
make you automatically a trusted user for private data.

Peter may well be knowledgeable and trusted, but not becuse he has
identified to the foundation

I don't think thats reasonable. WikiMiniAtlas, for example, is hosted by WM-DE,
thus every time it is used, IP data is sent to a non-WMF server. (Users have to
click to load it, but it is linked from every page that has coordinates, so it
can be considered bulk. And when it gets replaced with OSM, static map snippets
will be loaded by default from a WM-DE-owned cache server, if I understand the
setup correctly.)

Of course, there should be *some* limit on what servers can receive data. As I
said, the obvious choice for me would be to tie it to chapters (maybe it could
even be included in the chapter agreement?). That, and maybe WMF staff should
have root access for emergencies?

Agreed. So consider this as a request for authorization :)

Certainly, but that in itself is no reason not to have another system for the
time being. It is not unheard of that developement of new features get delayed
by a few years :) We have a working system in place; I don't think it should be
removed just becuase there will be a better one at some indefinite point in
time. It can removed at that time just as well.

As for statistics-related feature requests, I would have quite a few :) Unique
visits/visitors, referrer data, country/browser/OS distribution (I seem to
recall seeing something like this in Erik's stats, but I can't find it now),
breakdown by action and by user group, search term statistics (without the
wikistics.falsicon.de JS hack), gadget usage data. An API would also be nice (so
that for example a user script can query the data for all internal links on the
page, and show a colormap - it would be a nice tool for designing the layouts of
portals).

(It would be somewhat unfair to say Erik's starts are lacking these, since our
stat can't measure most of them either. What I would miss most would be visitor
counts and browser distribution. Also, I think stats.grok.se and
wikistics.falsicon.de give slightly incorrect page view results because they
don't take redirects and special pages into account.)

The (WM-DE-owned) toolserver ran a statistics script called WikiCharts for a few
years, which worked with data relayed by Common.js from several wikipedias,
including de and en. While that is not exactly the same situation (as the WMF
has access to the toolserver), I think it proves my point that passing IP data
to an (in the strict organizational sense) third-party server does not
necessarily violate the privacy policy, neither letter nor spirit, as long as
that server remains within the larger WM community.

It is important to understand that this is a much more general question than
that of web statistics: any third-party service that interacts with the standard
wiki user interface receives private data, whether it needs it or not, because
the user interface (the HTML page) is "executed" in the user's browser, and the
browser has to contact the third-party service, and it cannot hide its IP in
that process. For example, we considered setting up some sort of spell checking
service for hu.wp. That is something that cannot be done well centrally - there
is too much difference between languages. And if you do it with a local server,
it has to communicate with the user's browser, and could in theory log requests
and correlate them with edits on the wiki, thus it has to conform with the
privacy guidelines. It would be a shame if all such uses would be blindly
forbidden because of vague privacy fears.

afaik roots on the toolserver who have access to logs have to be signed off
by the WMF before they are allowed access.

Re: Wikipedia tracks user behaviour via third party companies #2 [In reply to]

This is another e-mail on this subject that just strikes me as flawed. These
are not vague privacy fears - they are real privacy fears. I see a
fundamental failure by those involved in this controversy to understand this
point.

The strange thingh is, some such servers seems to be outside discussion

let me say a word to this: We didn't collected any privacy-data. We logged no
IP or browserdata, only the page-name and the date. And we didn't collected
every view, but only a sample of it (1/500 in dewp for example).

Sincerly,
