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.

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:

Regards,
Felipe.

Asunto: [Wiki-research-l] Access to HTTP access logs for Wikipedia articles?
Para: "Wikipedia Research List" <wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org>

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,
