I am asking for a real-life friend who is doing some research. It's not for any particular project of mine, but I can easily imagine that it can be useful for a lot of editors and product managers as I wrote in the opening post.
(And I cannot think of any privacy problems if the data is not tied to any particular people, but maybe I'm naive.)

Hi Amir --
Would you like to see these datasets released publicly or was there a specific project you were interested in using them for?
thanks,
-Toby

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.
