Commons got approx. 108M pageviews last month -
https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyOriginal.htm

This is slightly below Wiktionary, and about three times (all)
Wikibooks, or five times Wikiquote or Wikisource -
https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyAllProjects.htm

My understanding is that this will only count people who visit a
Commons file description page (or other page), but will not count any
of the following other ways to access a file:

* viewing a Commons file embedded in another wiki
* viewing a "local description" of the file on a page on which it's embedded
* viewing a "local mirror" of a file description page on another wiki
* loading a file directly from upload.wikimedia.org without going
through the Commons description page

(someone, please correct me if I'm wrong!)

So:

* https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lozupone_katz2.png - counts, but

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katz%27s_Delicatessen - does not count
* 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katz%27s_Delicatessen#/media/File:Lozupone_katz2.png
- does not count
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lozupone_katz2.png - does not count
* 
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Lozupone_katz2.png/800px-Lozupone_katz2.png
- does not count

This is consistent with the way the pagecounts work everywhere else,
but will mean that the Commons pageview data doesn't fully reflect all
the ways it's used.
