Hi there,

I have no idea about Lila, but answer to your question about redirect and
articles is NO (at least in my opinion).

If it would be double counting, number of hits on articles would be always
greater than on their redirects. It is not so. You can compare for example
page views on "Ghoramara" (redirect to Ghoramara Island) 24824 pageviews in
May according to stats.grok.se and "Ghoramara Island" (actual article) - 68
pageviews.

So, no double counting on stats.grok.se. It seems to me, that when user
used redirect the hit is listed in raw file, but actual article - not.
