A reply to the whole discussion, and at least one other recent one,
rather than this last question.
This probably doesn't do everything that any of the people asking need,
but should be relevant. I'm a bit surprised it hasn't been mentioned -
at least the people involved in these should be able to advise, even if
the online data isn't usable.
Sorry, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Domas' dumps only contain info about articles (that is, pages in main namespace) and a summary count of hits for each page visited (so you can say which article is the most visited).
We receive raw data for all namespaces of all Wikimedia projects, so you can get more info parsing the URLs (like different actions requested: view, preview, save...).
Best,
Felipe.
Wikipedia article traffic statistics:
http://stats.grok.se/
is a "mere visualizer" for the raw data available here:
http://dammit.lt/wikistats/
as stated in the visualizer's FAQ:
http://stats.grok.se/about
"
Domas Mituzas put together a system
to gather access statistics from wikipedia's squid cluster and
publishes it
here. This site
is a mere visualizer of that data."
Very happy if this can be of any help!

Thanks for the quick feedback.
Can you tell me to whom should this 'direct request' be addressed?
A 1/100 sample or similar would be great. Is referral data included in
this sample?

Hi Sérgio,
Some universities (like ours) receive a 1/100 sample of the whole set of petitions processed by Wikimedia Squid servers.
It is provided on direct request, however. As far as I know the data is not consistently archived in a public repository anywhere (but I maybe unaware of some system storing that info).
Some work has already been published on this topic:

Asunto: [Wiki-research-l] Access to HTTP access logs for Wikipedia articles?
Para: "Wikipedia Research List" <wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org>
Fecha: martes, 13 de abril, 2010 13:23
Hi all,
I presume that Wikipedia keeps data about HTTP accesses to
all articles.
Can anybody inform me if this data is available for
research purposes?
I am particularly interested in HTTP referral information
for each
article. I suspect that this information could be used to
estimate
topical relevance for each document. Access to this
information
poses
no risk to users' privacy since no user information is made
available
- sessions' id, hour/minute timestamp data and IPs could be
easily
discarded.
I am new to this list, so I really don't know if this has
been
previously discussed.
I searched the archives and found no relevant results on
this issue.
Thanks in advance for your feedback,
