The short answer is no. The long answer is that we would like there to be.
I personally think we should evolve our concept of "PageView" to something
more like "ContentView", and add properties such as publisher (google,
apple, wikimedia, etc.), duration, etc. With our Modern Event Platform
initiative, Andrew's building endpoints that 3rd parties could publish
events for something like ContentView(s). So theoretically Google could
send us a little ping every time someone sees Wikimedia content.
As of now, this is just an idea that some of us on team Analytics feel fond
of.

Hi Analytics,
Are views of republished Wikimedia content, such as on Google and Youtube,
something that we could include in addition to Wikimedia pageview
statistics? I imagine that this would require cooperation from Alphabet and
other companies that reuse Wikimedia content. It would be nice if we could
get that cooperation.
Also, Is this republication taken into account in website traffic
rankings? My guess is that the answer is no, and that other types of
republication such as embedded Youtube videos are not taken into account
for their content provider's site rankings, although I think that Youtube
would count views of embedded videos in its own statistics of video views.
I am thinking that for Youtube and Wikipedia, and other similar sites for
which republication or embedding are common, site rankings which are based
on pageviews could significantly underestimate the popularity and influence
of the sites.
Regards,
Pine
