Thanks, I had noticed that the small tags weren't working. I'm really looking forward to the updated stats :)

edit: As of October 2018, the "new metrics tool that will give admins better access to traffic stats about their wiki" has still never been released.

When asked whatever happened to this in 2016, current Wikia Staff had no idea what this was even about.
