What these articles have in common is that Google has indexed them using the https protocol. This in combination with us no longer sending the Nginx SSL traffic to udp2log (this happend IIRC in the week of March 25 - March 31, 2013) explains a part of the drop but not entirely.
It is concerning to me that Google is randomly sending traffic to the HTTPS gateway rather than us being in control of that migration process. Maybe it is time to send a rel=canonical link on all pages, like we do for uz.wikipedia.org but in the reverse direction?
There are two bugs in Bugzilla that track this feature: * Canonical URL on all content pages ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25882) * Implement a way to set a canonical url in OutputPage ( https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28602) D
