Our data is only comparable between May 2015 and Dec 2017 so:
Nov/Dec/Jan 15/16 total 15.7, 14.6, 16.2
Nov/Dec/Jan 16/17 total 16.4, 15.5, 17.0
Nov/Dec/Jan 17/18 total 15.3, 14.3, 16.4 (last number an estimate)
So went up from 15/16 to 16/17 and now come down in 17/18 to about were it was in 15/16. We are definitely not seeing growth in pageviews though which is concerning.

In order to have at least a partial answer we would need to know how the pageviews relate to actual database traffic I assume? That would explain Google and I do not know whether there are any other services worldwide that use the datastram without actually displaying pages.

We are seeing a steady decrease of page views to our projects
(Wikipedia).
Nov-Dec-Jan it is decreasing in a rate of 5-10% (year-year), and for big languages like Japanese, Spanish close to 10%, or some months even more [1]
Is there any insights of why this is so? Could it be that Google take
over
accesses with their ever better way of showing results direct (but then also with showing extracts of Wikipedia articles) . Or that our interface on mobiles is inferior so we miss accesses from mobiles (now being 54% of total). Or horror of horror that users look for facts on all new sites
with
fake news instead of Wikipedia?
