Agreed! First granular data, then granular data piping to wikistats,
then granular data piping to everyone else.

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!

Subject: Re: [Analytics] [Announce] new Pageviews definition complete and implemented
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:
1. 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
- see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view#Future_work
. But the core definition is complete.
Huge thanks to Andrew Otto, Christian, Nuria, Aaron and Bob West for
their contributions to this project.
