After a request from the WMF Communications team, I generated a list of the 200 most viewed pages from May 2015 to October 2015 as input for the #Edit2015 video (cf. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T117945 ). IIRC that query did not take terribly long to complete.

Since this thead, AaronH has provided this data (on the request of the WMF Communications team, as he did last year) at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T122604 . > On Wed, Dec 16, 2015 at 1:52 PM, Itzik - Wikimedia Israel > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I see that the (amazing!)
