The HitCounters2 extension keeps a count of the number of "hits" (visits) to an article in your wiki. It uses the REST API instead of hooks, unlike Extension:HitCounters, which allows it to work even behind a HTTP caching proxy.

Installation

• Download an archive of the main branch or clone via Git and place the file(s) in a directory called HitCounters2 in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'HitCounters2' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration parameters

None

User rights

• (hitcounters2-resetcounter): Allows using the Special:ResetHitCounter page to reset the hit counter of any page in the wiki.
