There used to be a feature for that in MediaWiki IIRC, but it had ginormous privacy concerns. Because unlike, say, Facebook or Discord, users could not switch it off. It also didn't have idle or sleep mode, so if someone were to leave their pc on overnight, it'd mark them as "online" all night. It was crude, uncustomizable and unmaintainable. I've only ever seen it at a non-Fandom wiki, where it stopped working after a MediaWiki upgrade so I assume it was just dropped from the software.

And let's be frank: it's nobody's business who is online when.
