Comments from the project standpoint:
@Addshore: we will not be adding new features to Pageview API until we have finished our scaling project and added counting of pageviews for wikis for which it is not happening (ex: outreachwiki)
Any feature additions will happen either end of next quarter (November) or later.
Technical comments:
prefix=Special:AboutTopic/
Having queries such as this one pushes a lot of knowledge about mediawiki urls into the pageview API, we want to keep the API mediawiki agnostic as much as as possible and the parsing of those pageviews (if indeed each record is a different page) should happen earlier in the pipeline.
A better semantics would be to have categories under which pages live like: "data-item" or "medical" so you could query for pages like category=data-item
and page=Q2834518. Then a pageview for https://lv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AboutTopic/Q2834518 would show in your query.
The Special:AboutTopic seems really a work around needed in mediawiki that should not be propagated.
