Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wmfall] Transitioning wikistats pageview reports to use new pageview definition

Re: [Wikitech-l] Yandex?

Sorry, fell back into lawyer mode - specifically, PII is "personally identifiable information" - in our case, usually IP addresses. A badly designed system could send that to the translation system, but we didn't do that - Yandex does not have access to it, so they know nothing about the

Re: [Wikitech-l] Transitioning wikistats pageview reports to use new pageview definition

Hi Nuria, What is the "old" definition? For some wikis the difference is from simple to double. Thanks, Strainu 2015-11-11 2:00 GMT+02:00 Nuria Ruiz : > Hello! > > The analytics team wishes to announce that we have finally transitioned > several of the pageview reports in
