Nahui Ollin is enwiki's #1 most read article with nearly 12M views in April, congratulations! Celebrations are found on the accompanying talk page.
..this makes no sense whatsoever, and Reddit noticed that too.
This isn't a bug or a feature request, but something abusive seems to be going on and it may be wise to investigate what exactly.
Doesn't look like a hoax. One of the sources is "An Inglorious Columbus" by Edward P. Vining from 1885. It does mention Nahui Ollin. The article was created by a user that doesn't raise any obvious red flags.
There are two more entries in the topviews that seem odd:
This is clearly some bot (or set of bots) requesting that page again and again. The requests are almost all coming from ISPs notorious for hosting residential proxies. This is just a campaign to increase pageview counts for a single page that we didn't properly detect.
Removing the SRE tags from the task, and adding data engineering, as 99.99% of these requests were cache hits, so extremely cheap and not really a problem for the infrastructure.
I noticed that most of the pageviews to Nahui Ollin are referred to us from www.vakarta.com and on that website there are some links on https://vakarta.com/vaccines/combination/ which redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahui_Ollin. For example, https://vakarta.com/vaccines/combination/Ipol%2BVerorab redirects to that Wikipedia page. I wonder if this site was being crawled and the pageviews are a byproduct of broken redirects?
