Description

Hi,

I'm referring to this specific webpage: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageview_complete/readme.html. I'm curious to understand how current the information is. Also, has the previously identified issue been resolved?

Another area that requires clarification is related to the handling of pageviews for redirected pages. Are the pageviews for these redirects included in or added to the pageview count for the target page? It might be helpful to include this information on the website for future reference.

There's also a lack of clear explanation regarding the data format for the monthly 'pageview_complete' dumps. An individual from the Libera chat offered this interpretation:
"In your example "2338869 desktop 1 P1" means: page_id = 2338869, desktop = accessed from desktop, 1 = total pageviews in the month, P1 = 1 pageview at day 16 (A=1, B=2,...,P=16,...,Z=26, [=27, \=28, ]=29, ^=30, _=31)."

However, it would be helpful to have a proper description provided on the website itself to avoid any confusion.

Thank you.
