  I'm confused. That suggestion from me wasn't intended as a method to filter 
out bot traffic, but rather I was wondering if you were looking for 
//pageviews//, because then it would make sense to exclude requests that are 
not for a page. If looking at //traffic// is what this is about, then requests 
to `api.php` and `load.php` should maybe be included. Whereas //edits// 
probably need a much narrower filter that is different yet again.  Though I do 
not actually know your objective or have much context at all here.
