Mystery
Please solve this mystery if you can...

On September 23rd, traffic to Portal:James Bond doubled, and has stayed at the new level since then. I can't figure out what happened.

See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Portal%3AJames_Bond

Traffic to Outline of James Bond stayed the same (though it was at the higher-level already), which leads me to suspect changes made somewhere in Wikipedia.

See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Outline%20of%20James_Bond

I'd like to find out what happened, in case it reveals helpful link placement tips that can double the traffic to outlines too!

I look forward to your reply on my talk page. The Transhumanist 23:22, 5 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Any ideas? So far, nobody has been able to figure it out.  I gauged the number of people I sent my request to based on the difficulty of the problem.  Where should I look to find the increases in traffic?  I gazed at "What links here", and there are a lot, but is there any way to easily tell how old those links are?  Any ideas you can come up with on solving this mystery would be most appreciated.


 * Aside from the mystery, I'm interested in improving the availability of outlines (measured in traffic). Any tips you can provide would be helpful.  The Transhumanist 00:45, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to say thanks for the time you put into designing and planning kudubot4. I am sorry that you spent time that was not productive, but I'm also very grateful. I look forward to working with you again, Cliff (talk) 06:01, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
