Indeed Andrew. Upon re-reading, I think you're right. Thanks for pointing
to that dataset.
Also, primary credit for that dataset should go to Ellery Wulczyn. :)
Credit where it is due.

Hi Aaron,
I may be misreading the request but I think what's being looked at
here is Wikipedia -> Wikipedia links - so the referring server + the
referred server are both ours.
Given that, I *think* this data Dario put out earlier in the year
would be what's needed -
http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1305770
- but with the caveat that it's only enwiki and only for two months.
It won't identify which link on a page was used (if it appears
multiple times), but most "see also" links are unique within the page
and so this shouldn't pose a problem.
Andrew.

Hi Physikerwelt,
I'm not sure how we'd collect that data. You'd need to gather it from
whatever server the user's browser made a request to after clicking one
of
those links. That's how referrers work.
Also, clicks to non-https links
from https Wikipedia will not contain referrers. See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikimedia_referrer_policy for a
proposal to update our policy.

Hi,
is there information about referrals within enwiki?
We are investigating the quality of the "See also" links and are looking
for estimates how often the see also links were used.
If so can we access the information from eqiad.wmflabs?
Best
