"clicked" as in, where do people click through to or from? Ellery has, I think, a dataset of {internal referer,page,count} tuples (alternately I might be making that up).

Hi,
Are there metrics about which links in each article are the most clicked?
I can think there's a lot to be learned from it:
- Data-driven suggestions for manual of style about linking (too much and
too few links are a perennial topic of argument)
- How do people traverse between topics.
- Which terms in the article may need a short explanation in parentheses
rather than just a link.
- How far down into the article do people bother to read.
Anyway, I can think that accessibility to such data can optimize both readership and editing.
And maybe this can be just taken right from the logs, without any additional EventLogging.
