Thanks all and great to see we’ve found another use case for the clickstream data. You can reach Ellery at ellery@wikimedia.org if you have more questions on this dataset.

Indeed Andrew.  Upon re-reading, I think you're right.  Thanks for pointing to that dataset.  

Also, primary credit for that dataset should go to Ellery Wulczyn.  :)  Credit where it is due.

Hi Aaron,

I may be misreading the request but I think what's being looked at
here is Wikipedia -> Wikipedia links - so the referring server + the
referred server are both ours.

Given that, I *think* this data Dario put out earlier in the year
would be what's needed - http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1305770
- but with the caveat that it's only enwiki and only for two months.
It won't identify which link on a page was used (if it appears
multiple times), but most "see also" links are unique within the page
and so this shouldn't pose a problem.

Andrew.
