Hi all,
Lars, Rupert thanks for flagging this and you are quite right: the numbers
are too high because webstatscollector, the software that does the counts,
just counts every request as a hit including bots, error pages etc.
I am planning on running a sprint at the Amsterdam Hackathon to built an
easy queryable datastore with clean pageview counts. Please let me know if
you are interested in this so I can pitch this.
Best,
Diederik

Thanks for taking the time to do this check! This
number already is unreasonable for an obscure project

Should Special:Export ever count as page views?
Anyway, there are no humans using Special:Export
on da.wiktionary in the middle of the night.

So are there some stupid bots that follow red links?
There could be a large number of such accesses
on Wiktionary (in any language) because there
are so many red links. But bots should never be
counted among the page views.
