Hoi, According to the statistics, the traffic of Commons grew last month by 35% to 268 M. This makes it in traffic bigger then the German Wikipedia.. The German Wikipedia is our third biggest Wikipedai... Does anybody have a clue what is happening. Is there a potential for a similar sized growth next month ??
Given that we are getting to the stage where we will support video, Commons may become bigger then the English Wikipedia in traffic Thanks, GerardM

Hi Where did you get these stats ? View pages from the squid servers ? Thanks, Plyd
Hoi, I got these numbers from the statistics by the WMF ... http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthly.htm http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthly.htm
It is likely to surpass the Portuguese Wikipedia as well.. 77.7 M compared with 72.6 M Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, I did get the numbers wrong.. it is not the German but the Dutch Wikipedia.. Given its growth, it will outgrow the German Wikipedia. Thanks, GerardM

The report from Paris earlier today mentioned that global usage details are now becoming available for Commons images. Might this have some kind of impact on the Commons usage statistics - has it altered the way they're calculated in any way?

Alternatively, it might just be a statistical blip. Wikisource jumped by 60% in September and then reverted; Wikispecies had a similar jump and fall in March. de.wp, looking more widely, did the same last December. We'll know for sure next month :-)
