I noticed links I click on the site go through a tracking redirect for example - https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/clicks/track?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediawiki.org%2Fwiki%2FUser%3ATgr_(WMF)%2Fexternal_login&post_id=284&topic_id=71. Is this necessary? If not, can we disable it?
Also that particular click does not take me to mediawiki.org, but instead shows me a plain text page, for whatever reason. Does this happen for anyone else?
