It seems that a bug was filed subsequently for this issue, but not yet
linked in this thread:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49266
See also this page:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/SummaryFOUNDATION.htm - it
says on top that the data is outdated (August 2012), but the page
views chart is dated October 2013 and shows a very sharp rise during
the last two or three months (although perhaps this is an artefact
from
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/56006 ).
The home page on
wikimediafoundation.org is linked from the footer of
every (non-mobile) page on every WMF project, but the number at
http://stats.grok.se/www.f/201310/Home seems suspiciously low for a
web page with >50 million incoming links. From the perspective of the
communications team, it would be particularly interesting to know more
about the true readership of this page.

I need a bit more than a suspicion that these
counts are too low. Why do
you think these numbers are incorrect?
1) Main page visits are 4 order of magnitudes lower than on Meta.

2) To check, I've set Firefox to reload a page every 2 s (IIRC
wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Canwebelieveinstats )for several hours and I
didn't find it in the raw data.
