Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to follow up on our previous discussions about enhancing the pageviews data file by adding a QID column. My collaborator and I have identified several use cases where the ability to match concepts across languages at a large scale is crucial. Given the volume of articles we're working with, relying on API calls for millions of them isn't feasible. Incorporating the QID column would significantly benefit not only our project but also a wide range of potential users who may face similar challenges.
Thank you for considering this request. We believe this addition could greatly improve the utility and accessibility of the data for various research and analysis purposes.
