I'm sorry to contradict you, but at least on the Wikibench traces, that information is very well present. I see things like:
1609418296 1190438479.078 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Western_betrayal&oldid=9828122...

I'm quite surprised that such informations are not known by the community of Wikipedia researchers.
Well, my ignorance is my own and does not reflect the community of Wikipedia researchers. :)
But, as Scott pointed out, I was referring to pagecount data published by WMF (i.e., the data binned by hour that we were discussing in the sub-thread).
I was replying to the discussion about the granularity of the pagecount data to point out that increased granularity won't help you because the data you want isn't provided in /that/ dataset at all.
Wikibench is the only source of data I know of that includes hits to the "/w/index.php" pages for all of Wikipedia (I'd love to hear that I'm wrong about that). Unfortunately, Wikibench was, as far as I know, basically a one-off thing. It's great if you want a 10% sample of this kind of data for a ~3.5 months period in late 2007. If you want anything that is less stale, I think you're going to have to try to cut a deal with WMF to collect it.
