The answer is a bit confusing, so I just spent a few hours updating the
documentation of our datasets:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data.  The link for the
pageviews dataset is now:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews

To answer your question directly, .q is actually the project abbreviation
for wikiquote.  This is lightly inspired by the syntax for inter-wiki
links, but it's explained in detail in this section:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews#Contained_data

The .m usually means access via the mobile site, unless .m.m appears in
which case it could be something else, that's also described here in detail:

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data/Pageviews#Disambiguating_abbreviations_ending_in_.E2.80.9C.m.E2.80.9D

If you're still confused after reading that and trying it out, let us know.
