In addition to these configuration variables, you may assign the
right gtag-exempt to user groups to prevent them from being
tracked. This can be useful to give to staff groups so that your
internal users and staff are not tracked, giving you a better
idea of who is actually using your site. For example:
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['gtag-exempt'] = true;- For general community support questions, please make use of the talk page on mediawiki.org.
