Hi, I wonder if wikipedia only relies on this sort of external statistics (like Alexa) to gather information about visits to the sites. Aren't there statistcs collected on wikipedia servers itself? This would be more useful and reliable.
Not at this time. At our traffic level, web server logs are too large to handle comfortably without a dedicated infrastructure, and we've been forced to simply disable them until something easier to handle gets set up.
Is that "keep recording but ignore them", or disable in the sense of turn off logging totally? Just curious...
