Sorry for this code scheme being not so intuitive, which two meanings for 'm' depending on where it appears.

The coding system was extended several times, and Christian Aistleitner and I prioritized downward compatibility over intuitiveness, reluctantly.

Hi Michael!

Yes, the ".m" code can stand for either being a *.mediawiki.org http://mediawiki.org project or for being a mobile wiki (you can separate both cases).

See the docs here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Archive/Data/Pagecounts-all-si...

I created a task to add some more documentation to the page you linked:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T180452

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I've been using the very helpful pagecount dumps described at:

https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-ez/

And it describes:

Line format:

wiki code (subproject.project)

article title

monthly total (with interpolation when data is missing)

hourly counts

In the wiki code field, the subproject is the language code (fr, el, ja, etc) or meta, commons etc.

The project is one of b (wikibooks), k (wiktionary), n (wikinews), o (wikivoyage), q (wikiquote), s (wikisource), v (wikiversity), z (wikipedia).

However, I've been coming across a large number of wiki codes "en.m". The "m" code is undocumented. It appears to be the mobile version of Wikipedia, but can anyone confirm that? Should the page be updated with this information?

Thanks,

Michael

Thanks, Federico.

In the docs you referenced, I can't find any reference to "en.m" that contrasts with the "en.z". This page https://archive.org/details/wikipedia_visitor_stats&tab=about describes codes, but they're different from the ones in pagecounts-ez https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-ez/.

I've noticed the "en.m" lines only started appearing in Dec 2015.

I'm just trying to understand, if I want the most accurate pagecounts over time, should I be including the "en.m" lines on top of "en.z", or are they something different?

Hi, I needed to read those codes for all projects last year, I tried to share my learnings, maybe it will help :

Feel free to correct my bad English :)
