Wikipedia talk:Traffic

You know what would be interesting to see? Wikipedia hits from non-logged-in users... this would be a reasonble approximation of "customers" as opposed to "staff". I don't know if that's a feasible statistic to collect... - Khendon

Removed comment from article:


 * October 28, 2001, Wikipedia began receiving a substantially increased amount of traffic from Google, when they updated their indexing system. This will probably result in a permanent traffic increase of over 20% compared with the few weeks leading up to yesterday. Google already was far and away the most important source of traffic for Wikipedia. If the increase is permanent, then in terms of new personnel and increased article production and editing, we can expect that this will have a long-term effect similar to that of a major news article or of a Slashdotting.

since the stats do not appear to support this interpretation of a sudden jump that differs from previous patterns.


 * 2003 Mar 08, 169019
 * 2003 Mar 09, 179610
 * 2003 Mar 10, 246672
 * 2003 Mar 11, 286787, big slowdown on this day
 * 2003 Mar 12, 316539, back to over 300k, problems with timeouts

Why the sudden leap over the last few days? Is there any more detailed analysis of the last few days to see what the most popular articles have been? - Khendon 10:07 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)

Is there life here?
If this page is dead, it should be marked as such. But I for one would be interested in Wikipedia traffic stats, even just a simple hits per day — just something a bit more up-to-date than 2003 Mar 13. Note that the link to http://www.wikipedia.org/stats/ seems to be dead, also http://noc.wikimedia.org/reqstats/reqstats-daily.png etc. — Johan the Ghost seance 19:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This page had not been edited for about 3 years! Now, that is a long, long time. Maybe, we should try to bring this page back alive again. -- S iva1979 Talk to me  19:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Just a note that the link to http://www.wikipedia.org/stats/ still appears dead and links to a page at http://www2.knams.wikimedia.org/ which gives the message "sorry, the statistics are offline for the moment". 155.198.63.112 16:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, this page is no longer maintained, and should be archived. More recent data is available at Statistics and from WikiCharts, It might be interesting to combine the more recent data with the older data set to create a longer-term timeline. -- The Anome 13:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
