Re: [Analytics] Does prefetch count as a pageview?

Hi Nuria, As I understand it, in Safari and Chrome with the default settings, there is a native browser feature that, when searching through the address bar (Google powered) by default silently starts loading the url of the top result shown below the address bar. Maybe there's a way we opted out,

Re: [Analytics] Confusing pageviews

It's true that MediaWiki supports search based solely on the ?search query parameter. Regardless of whether title=Special:Search is specified. This is mostly for legacy reasons as search predates the concept of special pages. However, would it make sense to instead count these as page views for

Re: [Analytics] [Survey] Pageview API

I'd also recommend doing both. +1 to the schema proposed by Gabriel. I'm sure it'll come up eventually but, just a few thoughts: * Both can be cached (one can be cached for <24h, the other longer). * The dynamic range allows useful linking to answer canonical questions regarding current trends.
