I search and search on how to add a Google analytics to MediaWiki, seems pretty damn simple as long as you know which templates you are using as default.

The current skins is configured in LocalSettings.php

## Default skin: you can change the default skin. Use the internal symbolic
## names, ie 'standard', 'nostalgia', 'cologneblue', 'monobook':
$wgDefaultSkin = 'monobook';

Head to {mediawiki_root}/skins and edit  the right skins, for me it is MonoBook.php

Just add your analytics scripts before the </body>. Now MediaWiki will add the marker in every page

Before

<?php $this->html('bottomscripts'); /* JS call to runBodyOnloadHook */ ?>
<?php $this->html('reporttime') ?>
<?php if ( $this->data['debug'] ): ?>
<!-- Debug output:
<?php $this->text( 'debug' ); ?>
-->
<?php endif; ?>
</body></html>

After

<?php $this->html('bottomscripts'); /* JS call to runBodyOnloadHook */ ?>
<?php $this->html('reporttime') ?>
<?php if ( $this->data['debug'] ): ?>
<!-- Debug output:
<?php $this->text( 'debug' ); ?>
-->
<?php endif; ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost
 + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-88600-7");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>
</body></html>
