Repoting the same issue for arywiki views on 20.07 and 15.07.2025 --Ideophagous (talk) 09:59, 22 July 2025 (UTC)

@Ideophagous, @Diogenes99, @Sinsyuan: All is okey now. Maybe it was a bug like 3 weeks ago. I remember the bug was something like they can't process the data. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 11:05, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Decreasing number of visits

In the last few days, I've noticed that some pages are showing a decreasing number of visits, rather than the regular increase as expected. For example, on eswiki, Si la vida te da mandarinas.... I use Chrome and Windows 11. Thanks. Blanco de Paz (talk) 07:06, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

The problem exists in a lot of articles, not just this one. Of the 2,000 I follow, at least 300: it's a massive problem. Blanco de Paz (talk) 07:54, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Blanco de Paz Are you referring to the total all-time pageviews going down rather than up? Or is it that the expected number of pageviews on each new day is lower that normal? MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 19:11, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Both. Some pages have been losing visitors day after day. And the total number of visits to my pages has decreased significantly in recent days compared to what was usual. Blanco de Paz (talk) 12:24, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

@Blanco de Paz I have been informed by the Data Engineering team that they have been revising the pageview counts based on an automated traffic incident. You can learn more at phab:T395934 and phab:T405667. So the decrease you see is intentional, and the older numbers were actually incorrect. They have said the correction of the datasets should be completed sometime today. Hope this helps, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 17:32, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Now everything is clear. Thank you very much for your reply. Blanco de Paz (talk) 21:26, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Incorrect and Inaccurate View Counter for Article on William Brumfield

The counter is counting the views for the article about William Brumfield incorrectly and rather sloppily. Amolodin (talk) 15:49, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Problem with visit counter.

In the last ten days, I've noticed that my page--william craft brumfield--visit total (all-time, from 7/1/2015) is showing a decreasing number of visits, rather than the regular increase as expected. I use Chrome. Willbrum (talk) 16:40, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay, between this and the report above, it's clear something is awry. I will report this issue to the Data Engineering team. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 19:06, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

@Willbrum It looks like this was intentional. See phab:T395934 and phab:T405667. The Data Engineering team have informed me the correction of datasets should be completed today, after which you will see the "all time" pageviews count start to go up again as you would normally expect. Best, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 17:34, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Pageview analysis count question

I track a number of article pageviews on a monthly basis and noticed, as others have mentioned above, that all of my recent numbers seem much lower. However, I am seeing that my monthly numbers do not align until looking back to February 2025. My March reported numbers are off from what I found then, so I want to understand how far back the pageviews overall were reset.

In addition, as I read in phab:T395934 and phab:T405667 , it seems there was a problem here coming out of Brazil, and I want to understand the scope -- did this affect all articles on the English Wikipedia, and that is why all article pageviews have been reset at some specific point in March? Thank you. FULBERT (talk) 12:17, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal (WMF) I wanted to ping you on this to make sure it gets seen. Thank you. FULBERT (talk) 14:18, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

@FULBERT I did see it, but unfortunately I don't have an answer to your questions. Pageviews Analysis merely visualizes the data provided by the Pageviews API. For questions about the API itself, you can contact the Data Platform Engineering team. I would think simply asking your question on phab:T405667 will produce an answer. MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 21:27, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal (WMF) Thanks for the update. Fingers crossed this will maintain now! FULBERT (talk) 23:59, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
