acording to http://stats.grok.se/da.d/latest90/mandag has been viewed 127 times in the last 3 months, and ranks on 927. the raw pagecount files are here: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/
i then took an arbitrary file and looked into it, at midnight, i guess UTC, feb 1st. as all projects are in this file, lets grep for danish wiktionary, "da.d " at the beginning of the line:
grep '^da.d\s' pagecounts-20130201-000000 | wc 569 2276 19572
this means 569 pages accessed in this hour, at least once. so lets sort by third column, which is the page accesses. largest access are at the bottom, so lets take the last 20 lines:
grep '^da.d\s' pagecounts-20130201-000000 | sort -k3n,3 | tail -20 da.d pony 2 30008 da.d skak 2 44151 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/engelsk 2 7818 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/hyle 2 4630 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/krog 2 4632 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/skaml%C3%A6ber 2 4632 da.d Forside 3 96050 da.d horse 3 54974 da.d interessant 3 9339 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/arrang%C3%B8rer 3 6948 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/b%C3%B8ger 3 6948 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/forg%C3%A6ves 3 6946 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/hensigtsm%C3%A6ssig 3 6946 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/hvad 3 9900 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/indvendig 3 6948 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/k%C3%A6le 3 6948 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/monogame 3 6944 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/revet 3 6946 da.d Speciel:Eksporter/topstykke 3 6944 da.d springer 3 45292
this means that e.g. "springer" was supposedly accessed 3 times in that hour. the article does not exist, but there is a red link out of http://da.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Top_10000_(Dansk).
rupert.

I stumbled on the Danish Wiktionary, of all projects. Danish is the 68th biggest language of Wiktionary, and has a little more than 8,000 articles in total. Most of these articles are very short and provide no value to a reader. There is no reason to link to them, and so very unlikely that the next user should stumble upon them unless they are me.
Yet, wikistats tries to make be believe that this tiny project has 400,000 or 500,000 page views each month, and has had so for a long time, http://stats.wikimedia.org/wiktionary/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthly.htm
(I'm not talking about January 2012, which seems to have been an error, and reports 2-3 times that many views.)
My guess is that da.wiktionary has 4,000 page views per month, not 400,000. It's more likely that 400,000 is some background noise, an offset number that should be subtracted from the number of page views for any project.
If you look at the log files for just one day, you should see my IP address (85.228.something) and 3-4 other users who have been editing lately, and not many more people, but perhaps a bunch of interwiki bots.
We need an explanation to these vastly inflated page view statistics.
