There is a Wikipedia Clickstream dataset that has data on a per-page basis
for the English Wikipedia for January and February 2015, February to April
and August and September 2016. There's also a bit of data for two other
language Wikipedias.

Data: https://figshare.com/articles/Wikipedia_Clickstream/1305770

Project information page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_clickstream

The dataset includes counts over the month for all (referrer,url) pairs
within Wikipedia that are at least 10, as well as the number of pageviews
to a given Wikipedia page coming from search, direct, internal Wikimedia
referrers, etc.

I have a tool that pulls in and allows for the display of the information
in a user-friendly fashion, see e.g.
http://wikipediaviews.org/displayviewsforonemonth.php?page=Barack+Obama&month=201609&language=en&drilldowns[0]=referrer:other-search&drilldowns[1]=referrer:other-external&drilldowns[2]=referrer:other-other&drilldowns[3]=referrer:other-empty&drilldowns[4]=referrer:other-internal&drilldowns[5]=referrer:Wikipedia
