Thanks for starting this, Ottomata.

For eye-balling the data, it's really good to have a redirect_page_name column as well. Following the logic on names is easier than numbers.

I think we should add names by joining with page tables in the refinement phase, but not in the raw x_analytics headers.

Cache invalidation could get tricky. Redirects can be made into bona-fide articles, and vice versa.

Using the newly reconstructed page title history, we might be able to rebuild some of this data historically. Not sure how scalable that solution would be.

use case

(1) Barak Obama -> (2) Barack Obama

We report pageviews to (1) but they should be counted to (2) . So all pageviews should be counted on the 301 target page.

Thi sis likely to change with RFC about redirects currently in place. Moving to q2
