Title: Impact of filtering policy changes on Wikipedia pageview metrics Authors: ID Škrbić, Srdjan (Author) ID Levnajić, Zoran (Author) Files: RAZ_Skrbic_Srdjan_2025.pdf (12,52 MB) MD5: 2EBEEB33F12E23AE224DC803CB606675   Language: English Work type: Unknown Typology: 1.08 - Published Scientific Conference Contribution Organization: FIŠ - Faculty of Information Studies in Novo mesto Abstract: Daily number of visits to any Wikipedia article can be obtained very simply. This research-friendly policy enabled the scientific community to study the nature and dynamics of global collective attention. However, Wikimedia Foundation has recently made two major changes in the way article visits (pageviews or viewcounts) are calculated and reported. The first change occurred in December 2019 and was related to bot traffic filtering. The second change took place in May 2020 in order to advance the detection and categorization of automated traffic. These changes improve the quality of pageview time-series by making them more stationary and reducing anomalies. Yet they lead to discontinuities that impact downstream tasks. The goal of this paper is to elucidate these changes and discuss their implications for researchers.
