Erik – thanks so much for this and for staying up late to crunch and publish this data.
I agree that we’re not in a position to ascribe changes to external factors until we’ve nailed down what share of API requests or otherwise non-standard requests excluded by WSC should be counted or discounted as PVs. I am worried that an increasing number of requests may have moved to the API not just due to apps gaining larger shares of mobile traffic (as per Denny), but also other crawlers/scrapers hitting /w/* instead of /wiki/*.
I look forward to catching up on these threads tomorrow.

Thanks, Erik. We've known for a while that the /wiki/ limitation is a pretty significant one. A further quantitative breakdown of the other common groupings (search, edits, etc.) would definitely be helpful.
