Hi:

I can't find any (official?) definition about the nature and practical use between the «Pageview» «Pageview complete» dumps other than a brief description at Dumps[1].

Searching for pageview complete there is not results at:

Wikitech: https://w.wiki/6EDz
Meta: https://w.wiki/6EDx, except the link to Dumps[2]

Maybe is it because the complete ones are by design related to Wikipedia Administrative Pages Analytics[3]? Or because it included data before the latest pageview definition (2015)? Maybe both?
