Hello, Strainu. 1. Try in place of "all-access" use different platforms. You'll see, as I expected reading your letter, that the effect you recognized appears in "mobile-web" mostly. 2. I 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. Igal (User IKhitron)

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.

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.

explanation. Sorry, not sure what you mean, can you link to any documentation we can maybe clarify? As the measure two metrics "Unique Devices" and "Pageviews" is completely different.
