Compare https://ironholds.shinyapps.io/WhereInTheWorldIsWikipedia/ and http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerLanguageB...
Ironholds' looks more vulnerable to bots, it's easier to see in small wikis (though, kudos! many more small wikis are included than in wikistats). For instance, 20 more percentage points for USA on Breton and Bavarian Wikipedias, 30 on Welsh, 40 on Alemannic, almost 50 on Kurdish. For Chinese bots they look similar, though in some cases I'm not sure what's going on: for instance als.wiki also sees CH and RO emerge.
Will the new pageviews definition use the same bot filtering method?
