Ah, I see the problem; someone patched it and never documented it.
We have documentation at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view/Generalised_filters of the generalised filters. There is also a log, on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view, of changes to the pageview definition.
The intent behind both the transparent definition and the log is to ensure that we know what is going /in/ the definition.
In this case, somebody has patched the definition (https://github.com/wikimedia/analytics-refinery-source/commit/cc0b6ed7e4f403...) to include traffic from outreach.wikimedia.org - a site that was very deliberately and very explicitly excluded from the definition as it was written.
There is no explanation of why this change was made, there is no documentation of this change even existing outside the actual Java.... can someone please explain what this is for, and update all the documentation to reflect that? And then could people be very, very clear in future that it is expected there be a log of alterations you make to high-level KPIs beyond the, you know, commit logs.

Is the pageviews_hourly table meant to contain pageviews according to the new or old definition? If old, where can I find aggregates for the new one?
