[meta] Tasks to deprecate Statistics

Any updates on this?

https://www.drupal.org/project/statistics → still doesn't exist, and core issues for the statistics module are blocked.

(No hurry, just a friendly reminder as I wanted to implement a pseudo field for statistics ( ✨ Add computed `statistics` field to nodes, to expose Statistics' collected data Postponed ))

I've been searching core for more instances and found the following that need to be investigated. The command I used was

grep --exclude-dir={vendor,node_modules,statistics} -riw 'statistics' core | grep -vi migrat | grep -vi "drupal[6|7].php" | nl

which I gradually reduced to

grep --exclude-dir={vendor,node_modules,statistics,comment,views,views_ui,forum,update,locale} -riw 'statistics' core | grep -vi migrat | grep -vi "drupal[6|7].php" | nl

About step 1: "Begin finding someone to maintain the contrib version of the extension", since statistics happens to tie in with actual work I have for this year, I volunteer for that role.

As mentioned on 📌 [11.x] [Meta] Tasks to remove Statistics Postponed , I created the subtree split, and pushed it to https://github.com/fgm/statistics until the contrib project can be created, at which point I'll push it there.

Changed the parent of 📌 [11.x] Remove statistics from htaccess Postponed to the removal meta issue because the change to .htaccess would break existing sites using Statistics.

I found another usage in a test, \Drupal\Tests\migrate_drupal\Kernel\Plugin\migrate\DestinationCategoryTest. When the color module was removed from core this test was changed, it was not done as part of the deprecation of the module. I have added it to the removal issue

@fgm, thank you for working on the creation of the contrib project!

The contrib Statistics project now has a build working for both 10.3.x and 11.x. Time to create a release ?

@fgm a statistics release would be great - once we've marked statistics deprecated, we can move onto the next step of updating database fixtures for Drupal 11.

@catch: does it have to be a 1.0.0, or would a beta be good enough ? I'm a bit wary of creating a stable release without a testing period. But if it's necessary for core to move on, no big deal.

@fgm it needs to be a stable release before 10.3.0 is released so that people can actually update to it from core smoothly. Fine to have a short beta window before that of course.

Beta released : https://www.drupal.org/project/statistics/releases/1.0.0-beta1 →

Unfortunately, I only noticed that there was a Statistics beta release about two days ago. The issue to deprecate was updated and committed 11 hours ago.

So, this part of the process is complete! This is also the last extension to be deprecated in 10.3.x

Thanks everyone!
