Over at s23 I have been told that there is currently no service available to add wikis to the new stats system to replace the old one [1]. I think a special page which allows wiki administrators to register their wiki, e.g. SMW [2] could do the trick.

EDIT
SMW's registry service has in the meantime been switched to use WikiApiary.

for the time being, i would be willing to just use this bug as the simplest form of registry. if you want wikis to be added you could paste them here, in the form of a URL ending in "api.php" please.
should just make a simple HTML form that sends me a mail and be done with it?
@RobiH do you have any wikis to add?
RobiH's subscription was lost in the phabricator migration... notified him of the question.
@RobiH So the idea was if you (or others) have wikis to add you can just paste them here and that would be simplest form of "registry". Separately you should still be able to login to the labs instance and use "wsa" if desired.
This task is intended not to handle registration but about building such a registration service. These are two different things. So a separate task will be needed until this one has been done.
Edit: In the light of other related tasks this one appears to be the tracking task.
Since we have the pingback server for anon data, What about a WikiApiary extension that would allow people to publish more detailed non-anon data? It could even send out info for wikis behind firewalls.
Why not. Since it would be an extension it requires an deliberate act to activate data collection though it should still allow for choice which set of data is being transferred. As long as it does not collect personal data ... You are thinking about which set of data?
