I'm talking about research "Unique
devices".
That had no effect on pageviews. I think you are probably mixing two
different projects.
As I mentioned pageview counting has not changed for more than 2 years.
Thanks,

do not
remember the exact date, but a couple of months ago the way for
pageviews counting was changed, using cookies, affecting the mobile web
views. This can be the cause.

mmmm... not sure what you are referring to, can you be more specific? We
have not changed the way we measure pageviews for 2 years
There are improvements/fixes continously done to the system and those get
documented here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view#Change_log
FYI, we have opened a ticket for this issue:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170845
Without looking at it in detail there are many possible causes: removal
of
"bad" pageviews (like requests for
banners) or drop of traffic due to
having less bots.
