Common.js problem -- script missing

[Guest RobJF]

Trying to get statistics page tracking working on a new wiki: https://cardanowiki.info

The first stats service tried (Statcounter Free) is working fine, using a script on MediaWiki:Common.js

However, we'd prefer to use a different one: Matomo (was called Piwik). There was a problem with the MW extension so we switched to the alternative method of putting a script on Common.js

But no stats are being recorded. So I look at the page source coming back to the browser and, though I can see the Statcounter script, there is no sign of the Matomo one.

I tried swapping the order of the scripts but that made no difference. Any suggestions?

Your Common.js page has syntax errors, which is why nothing is running. The Common.js page is for js only, whereas you put HTML into that page.

I've reduced Common.js to the bare minimum, which passes a JS validator, but the code still isn't being loaded.

(The validator complained about the <script> tags so I took them out but I've tried both with and without and neither way works.)

$wgUseSiteJS = true;

Any ideas?

I've now gotten around this by taking all code out of Common.js and using other methods instead.
