Hi,
Are there statistics about the number of people who click on red links in Wikimedia projects?
And about what they do as the next step - go back, close the page, create an article, something else?

We do not have such statistics.
I wonder if it would be possible to set up an EventLogging schema to log hits to redlinks and what happens after.

It would be useful to the community, to readers, and perhaps to the WMF search and readership teams to have a list of pages that are most visited but have no content and aren't redirects.

Not sure if you've come across the awesome page at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:TOPRED
It's not exactly what you asked for (“number of views” instead of “number of people”, and the longtail gets cut off below 1000 views), but maybe it's close enough to be useful for you?
Have fun, Christian
From memory, the traffic figures include 'redlinks' - times someone
has tried to load a page that's not there. If this was combined with the recent clickstream/referral data, you'd be able to identify only the ones that came from internal mainspace redlinks.
What they do next is an entire different problem, though...
Andrew.

Hi Amir,
As far as I know and as mentioned by others, the exact statistics you're looking for don't exist. More comments in-line.

This you can get from the logs, for the past 30 days. I'm assuming you are not very strict about the definition of "people" and as long as you can factor out spiders and bots to a good extent you're fine.
And about what they do as the next step - go back, close the page, create
an article, something else?
There are two ways this can potentially be done: EventLogging and if you are not concerned about actions like "closed the page", from the logs. Both require quite some work, so my question is: what do you need this information for? We may have other results that can help you answer your questions in some other way.
Best, Leila
