Seems like some of these questions seem like they need data not just on revisions, but on web visitors, and click stream patterns. Does the foundation collect or make web access data available?
    

The mediawiki API described at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php
includes
* action=clicktracking *
  Track user clicks on JavaScript items.
* action=specialclicktracking *
  Returns data to the Special:ClickTracking visualization page

I tried to call them but you need to have admin rights, I think.
If you want to try it, you should do it on a mediawiki of which you are admin.
If you try, I will be interesting to know what these methods return.

For general aggregate data, we have this: http://stats.wikimedia.org/
which is based purely on our server logs.

The API clicktracking currently is very limited and is mostly just a tool we've been using to see what kind of users click what buttons/navigation elements so the usability initiative (usability.wikimedia.org) can rearrange icons and toolbars in a useful way.
