The Wiretap extension allows users to track the usage of the wiki from Special:Wiretap. It will display the pages hits by users in reverse chronological order. It is heavily based on Extension:UserPageViewTracker, but records each individual hit instead of counting number of hits. Additionally, it tracks the referring page for each hit, so you can see how each user got to the page. Also, it tracks hits to the Special:Wiretap page itself, so all snooping is being tracked.
