The answer is a bit confusing, so I just spent a few hours updating the
documentation of our datasets:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data. The link for the
pageviews dataset is now:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews
To answer your question directly, .q is actually the project abbreviation
for wikiquote. This is lightly inspired by the syntax for inter-wiki
links, but it's explained in detail in this section:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews#Contained_data
The .m usually means access via the mobile site, unless .m.m appears in
which case it could be something else, that's also described here in detail:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews#Disambiguating…
If you're still confused after reading that and trying it out, let us know.

our team is trying to distiguish mobile pageviews from

we are under the impression that the .m and .zero page view type
extensions are page views of the mobile site. is this correct?
what does the extension .q mean? also, can we safely assume that if a page
view has a language but no extension (.m, .zero, .q, etc…), then it is a
view of the desktop site?
thanks!
