Thank you, Nuria!
That number is higher than I expected given that the general web was apparently closer to 1.3% in 2010 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9478737/browser-statistics-on-javascript-disabled. Do you think there are ways to fine-tune this, perhaps by excluding clients that also didn't download images?
Finally, is there a way to gauge the difference in JS support between anonymous & authenticated users from this data?

I have run through the data and have a rough estimate of how many of our pageviews are requested from browsers w/o strong javascript support. It is a preliminary rough estimate but I think is pretty useful.
TL;DR According to our new pageview definition ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view) about 10% of pageviews come from clients w/o much javascript support. But - BIG CAVEAT- this includes bots requests. If you remove the easy-too-spot-big-bots the percentage is <3%.
