Note that this is a WikiProject page. Are the reported number of page views inflated by bots? Is there no way to filter out bot visits? In other news, this page has a weekly pattern of real, human visitors, since it is a radio quiz where lots of listeners are known to use google searches, http://stats.grok.se/sv/latest90/Melodikrysset -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
