Subject: [Wikitech-l] Bots create page views
To: "Wikimedia developers" <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
This regular bi-weekly pattern of reported page views
http://stats.grok.se/sv.s/latest90/Wikisource:Projekt_Bibel%C3%B6vers%C3%A4…
is created by a bot job. Note that this is a WikiProject page.
Are the reported number of page views inflated by bots?
Is there no way to filter out bot visits?
In other news, this page has a weekly pattern of real,
human visitors, since it is a radio quiz where lots of
listeners are known to use google searches,
