These numbers don’t add up... does the 4.3M pages that got less than 100 include the 3.6M that got less than 10? I should image so, otherwise that’s 7.9M pages. But then you say only 2.3M got less than 1000 views? That obviously can’t include the less than 100 or 10’s, but if you add them then you’re at 6.6M..??

I was wondering the same!

Not every page is an article, and I'm counting page views from their logs.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_an_article...

Even then you can see in my query that I have removed most of their "special" pages.

I think its a typo 5.3M not 2.3M have less than 1000 views. Makes sense with 600k over 1000 vies and 6M total
