Bug ID: 58036
Summary: Large numbers of pageviews not being reported in
statistics
Product: Datasets
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major

It was recently observed (
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine&oldid=582158481#Pageviews
) that total pageviews for some large projects on enwiki have been dropping for
several months.
The table on
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Popular_pages
shows that even though the number of articles in the project has increased, the
number of pageviews dropped from 231M in October 2012 to 171M in October 2013.
To test this, I wrote a script that loaded a non-existent page (so that there
would be no other hits to that page) every 10 seconds, reporting the number of
hits every hour. Then I compared that to the number in the raw pagecounts
files.
The full details are at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mr.Z-man/pageview#Test_4
Long story short, the problem seems to track the overall load on the site, with
busy hours losing 20-30% and quiet hours 5-10%, around 15% on average. This
suggests that the logging program is not adequately handling the load.
This may be the same problem as bug 49266
