How can I get pageview statistics for individual words in the English Wiktionary?
@James Salsman I am not sure if we have a tool somewhere designed specifically for that purpose, but you can get many important statistics on Wiktionary from http://wdcm.wmflabs.org/Wiktionary_CognateDashboard/

The pageview API has that data as long as "individual words" are considered "articles". See sample query:

Note that the page view information can also be found within the user interface, on the "Page information" page.
For example, at https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=pie&action=info

One little thing most people don't know is if you click on the link next to "Page views in the past 30 days" you get a little graph

Thank you everyone who helped answer my question. I have a related question, about the pageviews reported for audio pronunciation files on Commons by e.g., https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=commons.wikimedia.org&platf... Are those numbers the authentic number of times that someone clicked "play" on the audio widget to download the raw audio, or the number of times they went to see the [[commons:File:En-us-banana.ogg]] page without necessarily playing the sound?
It's really amazing how much more popular the English Wiktionary has become over the past two years. After having analyzed a large sample of the most frequently spoken multisyllabic words, I can say with confidence that while 2016 saw about as much usage as 2015 on the English Wiktionary, 2017 showed a 35% increase, and so far it looks like 2018 will be a 25-30% increase over that. As the very frequent words in question generally haven't been edited much at all in the past five to ten years, I'm confused as to why this has happened. Does anyone have any ideas?

No, that is the number of times the File page itself was viewed. For playabale media on Commons, you can use Mediaviews, e.g. https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediaviews/?range=latest-20&files=En-us-banana... This represents the number of times "play" was actually hit -- though it is not necessarily exact. The Analytics team could explain any caveats better than I could. The data comes from the Mediacounts dumps https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Traffic/Mediacounts, and fed to the Mediaviews tool via an API courtesy of James Hare.
