Since a few weeks Google bot crawls the mobile site (on purpose,
they want to know what mobile-friendly content is on the web,
even though it is similar to our main site).
This makes all the difference.
Here is a random example of how our traffic on smaller Wikipedias changed.
http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/misc/MobileTrafficCA.png
(based on Domas' hourly projectcounts files)
The peak occurred at 8 March 2 AM, we find 46957 page views for that one
hour.
In the 1:1000 sampled squid log we should find ~47 of those.
"zcat sampled-1000.log-20120308.gz | grep ca.m.wikipedia.org"
yields 339 records for the whole day, most are Google bot.
(some more numbers on bot share of total traffic tomorrow)

Hi Srikanth,
Yes, we are looking into the growth percentages as they seem unrealistically
high.
Best,
Diederik

perfectly with 10,000 to 13,000 per day
however 9 of these are bots!!
Is this the same case for mobile stats as well? I don't think there
could be sudden 100% growth for 2 months now across wikis[1] without
some reason like this.
