The ApiFeatureUsage extension adds a special page and an API module to fetch summaries of data logged by ApiBase::logFeatureUsage(), which is typically an indication of use of deprecated API features.
Dependencies
[edit]Log data must be added to some sort of storage system. Currently Elasticsearch is supported via Extension:Elastica .
Installation
[edit]- Download and move the extracted
ApiFeatureUsage
folder to yourextensions/
directory.

[edit]This extension is being used on one or more Wikimedia projects. This probably means that the extension is stable and works well enough to be used by such high-traffic websites. Look for this extension's name in Wikimedia's CommonSettings.php and InitialiseSettings.php configuration files to see where it's installed. A full list of the extensions installed on a particular wiki can be seen on the wiki's Special:Version page. |
