Hey Quim!

These are pageviews, so our aim is to count only user-originated traffic as
such, but there are lots of bots and automated traffic pretending to be
users, most commonly by utilizing fake browser user agents. We're close to
starting a push to better identify these undercover bots, which you can
take a look at in T138207 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138207>.

Thank you for taking a look and for your comments :)
