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

edit: 5 years later, in 2016, 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, current Wikia Staff had no idea what this was even about.
