distorting this data, and are there ways to filter that out in order
to
know where are the actual humans interested in a >Wikimedia project?
Short answer: yes.
Now, the distortion bot-wise we estimate is < 5% overall. We did some
research in order to quantify this when we rolled out our unique devices
metric. Take a look:

Hey Quim!
These are pageviews, so our aim is to count only user-originated traffic
as such, but there are lots of bots and automated traffic pretending to be
users, most commonly by utilizing fake browser user agents. We're close to
starting a push to better identify these undercover bots, which you can
take a look at in T138207 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138207>.
Thank you for taking a look and for your comments :)

Turns out that China is a huge follower of Catalan Wikipedia. ;) Can it
be that search bots and other obscure automated processes are distorting
this data, and are there ways to filter that out in order to know where are
the actual humans interested in a Wikimedia project?
