:-D That's PRECISELY what I'm after, thank you!

I think that'll do for the moment, though the combined figures would
be of interest :-)

The problem these numbers solve is that most browser stat reports are
a pack of lies at worst and hideously biased at best. Wikimedia sites
are stupidly mainstream and long ago went beyond being the province of
geeks, or even "web savvy" users. Even idiots use Wikipedia.

So the actual stats from an unbiased source with no interest in the
fight are a ridiculously valuable commodity.
