Hello. I have some question on Wikipedia stats. Sorry if this question was
already answered elsewhere.
In japanese wikipedia, access counter is not disabled. Many took notice
that, since around the beginning of July, the increase of page view count
has slowed down quite a bit. We figured, or guessed, that it has to do with
"caching" which was introduced around that time. But we don't know what it
is counting now, or what it was counting before. For example, daily views of
Main page and "Wikipedia:welcome, newcomers" become something like 1/5 to
1/10.
Is it just now counting the number of log-in users who access the page, as
opposed to all access including those by non-logged on users?
Those stats would help wikipedians as well as outsiders (occasionally
including journalists) to understand the activity level of wikipedia, if
roughly. I would appreciate if someone could help on this.
regards,
Tomos
