mmmm... not sure what you are referring to, can you be more specific? We
have not changed the way we measure pageviews for 2 years

There are improvements/fixes continously done to the system and those get
documented here:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Page_view#Change_log


FYI, we have opened a ticket for this issue:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170845

Without looking at it in detail there are many possible causes: removal of
"bad" pageviews (like requests for banners) or drop of traffic due to
having less bots.
