(Hat-tip to Nemo for noticing this)
We're writing up and redefining the pageview definition. Amongst other
things, it uses MIME type filtering and folder-level filtering to exclude
non-pageviews.
Problem: the multimedia viewer false anchor (an example is
https://az.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%A7ello_Malpigi#mediaviewer/File:Marcel…
is both text/html (one of the recognised and appreciated MIME types) and
/wiki/ (one of the recognised and appreciated domains).
The result of this is that it's currently going to be counted as a
pageview, even though it's...well, not.
Is there any way you lot could avoid the false anchor strategy and pick a
URL scheme that won't trigger this? If not, we can just write an exception
- but I'd rather that we not have to do that every time anyone decides to
make software.
Thanks,
