I don't think there's a handy figure available, but you could probably get a quick-and-dirty first-order comparison using the viewing figures for a single high-profile target like the frontpage. Using this metric, hmm: en.wp [[Main Page]] - 192870187 in March en.wp [[Special:Search]] - 474835986 in March zh.wp [[Wikipedia:首页]] - 925156 in March zh.wp [[Special:Search]] - 1254441 in March ratio of pageviews for the main page, ~ 210:1 in favour of enwp; for search, 380:1 in favour of enwp. So this would suggest that zhwp, at a very rough estimate, gets about 0.5% to 0.25% of the traffic that enwp does. -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
