Thanks. My goal is to understand which are the most viewed images on Commons 
through Wikipedia. By reading the mediacount description, it is possible to get 
the number of transfers. But if I got it well it counts all the images 
transferred to the user, making difficult to understand which have been really 
“seen” by the user. Furthermore, it provides all the interface images and 
icons, making difficult to filter only on the images used to illustrate the 
article.

Focusing only on media viewer clicks seems was a possible solution for solving 
those issues. If you have other suggestions, they are welcome!

Best

Michele

We don't have any public data on media viewer interactions specifically.  We 
used to have instrumentation on that feature but we haven't tracked it since 
last year.  To get access to some of the old sanitized data that was retained 
for research purposes, you'd have to file a formal research proposal, and it 
doesn't seem likely to get approved, but maybe tell us more about what you're 
trying to do?

What questions are you hoping to answer, maybe there's another way or another 
kind of dataset that would serve more use cases?

Hello,

For an academic research, I'd like to see which are the most viewed images 
through the "media viewer".

Do you know if it’s possible to get this information? I looked on the wikitech 
portal, but I found just the mediacounts 
(https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Traffic/Mediacounts) 
which is not what I’m looking for.

Thank you

Michele
