This kind of answers me the first question and the third one, but the
second and the fourth are still an issue for me.

There are a variety of reasons why someone might view
a redirected title:
* following a link still using the old title. (Either internally or
externally)
* typing the old name exactly in the search bar
* typing old name in address bar

Hi folks.
*This is my first time using this mail list*, so if this is not the
right place to ask this kind of question please lemme know about how I
should proceed in this case.
*Question*
I have basically downloaded from MediaWiki API a lot of pages related to
mathematics. Some of them are just *duplicated of the same Article*, but
with one difference being their title, such as different way os calling the
same subject, or letter that differs from one and another, ao so on and so
forth.
One example that I can show you right away is:
- "Adição_de_*s*egmentos", and
- "Adição_de_*S*egmentos",
both written in portuguese (my native language). The only difference
between the titles are just the lowercase and uppercase of the letter
"s".As I was testing on the URL's, it seems that *they both are the same
article, but redirecting from different links to the official "title".*
Keeping in mind those kind of duplicates, when I've started *to analyse
the statistics of views on a specific article*, while going through its
cases, I was expecting to receive the following structure of data:
- The old ones (deprecated) would hold views until some day X, and
then it would have nothing to further count and show;
- The up-to-date titles would have data starting from day X and then
would hold until the last day that I want to analyse.
Nothing too crazy to expect from the database. But that was not what
happened. *There are plenty of articles that are still receiving views
even though they all redirect to another article*. At first, I've just
thought that people are getting to the articles's content with different
links available on search engines, such as google, so all views must be
independent from one another. The problem is, after testing on the google
platform different search for *the same Wikipedia's article I can only
get the* *up-to-date articles, not the old ones.*
1. How can this be possible?
2. But more important for me, are all acesses on the deprecated
articles made by bots or old links available on old pages from other sites?
3. Are the count on all different article's title independent?
4. If so, how could I be able to even track all the possible acesses
on a particular subject to create an effective study o it?
Anyway, this is (if I remember well) the fourth time I'm trying to get a
proper answer for my question, and I'm hopping I'll get it soon.
Thanks!
