Since vital signs uses the pageview definition you can also take a look a
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view

To be clear, the definition used by vital-signs and
http://stats.wikipedia.org is the same one from May 2015 onwards and it
does not include traffic that is self-reported as bot traffic. We know,
however, that there is bot traffic that we do not tag as such.
