Sorry, I meant the referrer stats for the "top pages of 2012" in the hope
that some unusual patterns might shed some light on why some of these pages
are so popular (contrary to what "common sense" might suggest).

The problem (as always) is that there is a difference between pages served
(by the web server) and pages actually wanted and read by the user.
It would be interesting to have referrer statistics. I'm guessing that
many
of Wikipedia pages are being referred by Google (and other general search
engines).
