It was explained as one that changes it a lot. Maybe there was a wrong
explanation.
Sorry, not sure what you mean, can you link to any documentation we can maybe clarify? As the measure two metrics "Unique Devices" and "Pageviews" is completely different.

I'm talking about research "Unique devices".
That had no effect on pageviews. I think you are probably mixing two different projects.
As I mentioned pageview counting has not changed for more than 2 years.
Thanks,

do not remember the exact date, but a couple of months ago the way

pageviews counting was changed, using cookies, affecting the mobile

mmmm... not sure what you are referring to, can you be more specific?
We
have not changed the way we measure pageviews for 2 years
There are improvements/fixes continously done to the system and those
get
documented here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view#Change_log
FYI, we have opened a ticket for this issue: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170845
Without looking at it in detail there are many possible causes:
removal
of
"bad" pageviews (like requests for banners) or drop of traffic due to having less bots.

Hello, Strainu.
- Try in place of "all-access" use different platforms. You'll
see,
as I
expected reading your letter, that the effect you recognized
appears
in
"mobile-web" mostly. 2. I do not remember the exact date, but a couple of months ago
the

Thank you Igal, that must be the reason, I'll look for the change announcement just to understand what it means exactly.
