You're welcome Oliver, and well done, another milestone :-)
I think we need to update our page view dumps first, which pipe into many existing reports (WMF maintained and external). Then after that an API would be a huge improvement!

Word. I think that's a must-have. Kevin or Toby would be better equipped to speak up on this than me, however.

Thanks Oliver!
The thing I'm really looking forward to — hopefully this is on the medium-term roadmap for stats.wikimedia.org? — is an API for article-level view data based on this new definition.

Hey all,
I'm very pleased to announce that the new pageviews definition is (1) complete and (2) implemented. Prominent features include:
- A removal of the per-project double-counting due to banners; 2.
The removal of meta over-over-OVER-counting due to EventLogging; 3. The inclusion of Mobile App traffic; 4. The inclusion of projects with non-standard URL schemes.
What this means in practice is that when the data begins coming out through stats.wikimedia.org and elsewhere, you can expect to see a substantial drop in traffic. This is not a drop in traffic; it is a correction for the massive inaccuracies in the existing definition, which are causing an artificial /rise/.
So, what's next? Well, the Analytics Engineering team has to implement the functionality on a regularly running job to get the data released on a consistent basis. We also need to split out per-article pageviews and do some tagging to provide granular reports
. But the core definition is complete.
Huge thanks to Andrew Otto, Christian, Nuria, Aaron and Bob West for their contributions to this project.
