(Hat-tip to Nemo for noticing this)

We're writing up and redefining the pageview definition. Amongst other things, it uses MIME type filtering and folder-level filtering to exclude non-pageviews.

Problem: the multimedia viewer false anchor (an example is https://az.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%A7ello_Malpigi#mediaviewer/File:Marcello_Malpighi_large.jpg is both text/html (one of the recognised and appreciated MIME types) and /wiki/ (one of the recognised and appreciated domains).

The result of this is that it's currently going to be counted as a pageview, even though it's...well, not.

Is there any way you lot could avoid the false anchor strategy and pick a URL scheme that won't trigger this? If not, we can just write an exception - but I'd rather that we not have to do that every time anyone decides to make software.

Thanks,
