Who does own it?
On our opinion every team should own the definition of a pageview in their product right and when in doubt analytics or research can be involved to provide feedback on lessons learned.
For example: who is best qualified than IOS team to decide what constitutes a page in the IOS app?
With that in mind I have created a ticket to define what constitutes a Search pageview: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120249
Let me know what is a good discovery project to tag this ticket with so this ticket gets some visibility.
Thanks,
Nuria

It's true that MediaWiki supports search based solely on the ?search
query
parameter. Regardless of whether title=Special:Search is specified. This is mostly for legacy reasons as search predates the concept of
special
pages. However, would it make sense to instead count these as page views for 'Special:Search'?
One thing worth clarifying is that analytics team doesn't own the
pageview
definition (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view), we implement it to the best of our ability. Deciding what constitutes a pageview for search falls on the search team as they are the ones that
know
their functionality best (substitute "search team" by "some entity with knowledge of mediawiki's search abilities") According to Timo's comment
it
seems that "?search" requests should be counted as true pageviews but
let us
know otherwise via phab ticket or this list.
Who does own it?
