MediaWiki Google Tag Manager Extension

The GoogleTagManager extension integrates a Google Tag Manager container, e.g. containing either a Universal Analytics and Google Analytics 4 tracking code, into each mediawiki page.

Download

First, copy the Pivot source files into your MediaWiki extension directory. You can either download the files and extract them from:

https://github.com/Hutchy68/GoogleTagManager/archive/master.zip

You should extract the contents into a folder named GoogleTagManager in your extension directory.

Alternatively, you can use git to clone the repository, which makes it very easy to update the code, using:

git clone https://github.com/Hutchy68/GoogleTagManager.git

Currently, master is the branch to use. After that, you can issue git pull to update the code at anytime.

Setup

Once the extension is in your /extension directory from either method above:

Add to your LocalSetting.php file and set you Google Tag Manager ID for your Tag

wfLoadExtension( 'GoogleTagManager' );
// Replace GTM-XXXXXX with your Google Tag Manager container ID
$wgGoogleTagManagerContainerID='GTM-XXXXXX';

Alternative Setting

Cookie consent scripts usually have documentation on how to block the firing of a Google Tag without cookie consent. Others, allow or block the execution of a <script> which may add more cookies. These use a data type element attached to the <script>

Example <script data-cookiescript="accepted" data-cookiecategory="performance">

To set the data element(s) use

$wgGoogleTagManagerData = 'data-cookiescript="accepted" data-cookiecategory="performance"'; or if you use " make sure you escape the "'s needed.

$wgGoogleTagManagerData = "data-cookiescript=\"accepted\" data-cookiecategory=\"performance\"";
