At least as far as know, views to historical versions of webpages in Wikipedia don't show up in the access logs at all because certain kinds of requests (like requests to /w/index.php?oldid=NUMBER) don't get recorded in the pageview data. > New versions of a page are created as well.

AFAIK, viewing the history page itself is also not recorded in the page view data either.
