Hello, Strainu.
1. Try in place of "all-access" use different platforms. You'll see, as I
expected reading your letter, that the effect you recognized appears in
"mobile-web" mostly.
2. I do not remember the exact date, but a couple of months ago the way for
pageviews counting was changed, using cookies, affecting the mobile web
views. This can be the cause.

Hi,
Starting from an unrelated discussion on meta, I noticed a significant
drop in main page views for several wikis starting from April this
year. Is there anything we (or Google) did at that time to justify
this drop?

(slightly different pattern)
The same cannot be said for other projects, for instance uk.wiki:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=uk.wikipedia.org&platform=a…
access&agent=user&start=2016-01&end=2017-06&pages=%D0%93%

Thanks,
