where do Wikipedia Zero pageviews get recorded? Do they go under

Dear Analytics mailing list, I am working, along with Issa Rice (cc'ed) on an analysis of changes to Wikipedia pageviews since December 2007, when pageview statistics first started being maintained. To help with our analysis, we collected key events related to changes to user experience on the site as well as to statistics availabilty and measurement. We've recorded our findings on this page in Issa's userspace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Riceissa/Timeline_of_Wiki pedia_analytics I'd appreciate it if you can highlight: (a) Factual errors in the material currently in the timeline (b) Missing events that you think should belong in the timeline, with regards to the availability of statistics as well as any other events that affected user experience significantly. In addition, I had the following question: In the Wikimedia per-article pageviews API https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Pageviews_data/get_ metrics_pageviews_per_article_project_access_agent_article_g ranularity_start_end, where do Wikipedia Zero pageviews get recorded? Do they go under mobile-web, or mobile-app, or neither? https://wikitech.wiki media.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageview> gives some information on how the underlying pageviews are recorded in the pageviews dataset, but I wasn't clear on how the pageview REST API processes that data. Thank you! Vipul NOTE: We don't intend to move the page to Wikipedia's main space, as we know it won't meet the notability criterion. The user space was just a convenient place to store it while taking advantage of MediaWiki's syntax and Wikipedia's templates. _______________________________________________ Analytics mailing list Analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics

mobile-web, or mobile-app, or neither? Sorry, let me clarify: most zero pages are counted towards mobile web as most users of zero access mobile domains. If users of zero are accessing desktop or apps, pageviews would be counted towards "desktop" or "mobile-app" as access methods.

Vipul, I found this: for June 18, 2014 *[WikimediaMobile] New tablet-optimized mobile site now live for all tablet users* https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2014-June/007394.html The title of the meta page is up to you, but the current title seems fine to me, except that this is not about Wikipedia only, but about all Wikimedia projects.

Erik: Thanks for your edits. We're happy with having it copied over to the Meta wiki. Do you have a suggested location and pagename? Also, regarding the redirection of tablets to mobile web, do you have a date for when that happened? I saw your edit noting that tablets were not originally redirected to mobile web.

Vipul, Thank you for putting this together! It looks like an excellent resource. To add to Erik's comment, I would recommend putting this in the Research namespace on Meta, which is used both to host Wikimedia-related studies and general documentation for researchers and analysts. (Research:Page view <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view> is an example of the latter.) Also, your more general survey work about Wikipedia readers seems quite interesting. To me, readers seem understudied compared to editors (and I say this as someone whose job it is to research editors!).
