At least as far as know, views to historical versions of webpages in
Wikipedia don't show up in the access logs at all because certain
kinds of requests (like requests to /w/index.php?oldid=NUMBER) don't
get recorded in the pageview data.

AFAIK, viewing the history page itself is also not recorded in the
page view data either.
