 * 5) I don't personally use it, but I see many mailing list threads waste countless person-hours in random guessing which this report fixes, even in its current status. --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * 7) This is a very useful report showing actual accesses to a high-volume site -- Imerologul (talk) 08:58, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

3 Breakdown of all traffic that Google sends us, directly (crawlers) and indirectly (search results)
Note EZ: has been very useful several times, but not the further breakdown by top level domain


 * Keep
 * 1) Erik Zachte (WMF) (talk)
 * 2) Extremely necessary for users and chapters, especially as news abund which focus only on en.wiki data cited out of context, while this report is much more nuanced. --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

4 Breakdown of requests by mime type
Note EZ: has been very useful several times, but not sure about the further breakdown per wiki


 * Keep
 * 1) Erik Zachte (WMF) (talk)

5 Breakdown of requests by file type and origin
Note EZ: no-one referred to this report in years


 * Keep

6 Breakdown of requests by target wiki
Note EZ: seldom discussed, also glitch: % stands for 'mobile' 


 * Keep
 * 1) Jane023 (talk) 11:18, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) It's the only page which ranks all Wikimedia projects by page views. Quite obscure additional columns and hence hard to use in discussions, but I sometimes used it, especially for the media statistics before Analytics/Data/Mediacounts. --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

7 Breakdown by request method

8 Which crawlers access our servers?
Breakdown by host, file types requested, agent string. Disabled (see bug T96372). See example.

Note EZ: nice to have, but in current form impracticable and much too detailed, even disabled

 * 2) The per-country statistics are very useful when considering any activity in a certain area, to give people a very basic idea of the distribution of visits. I don't see real deficiencies in the current report, as only the order of magnitude maters and is displayed. It's also useful to monitor trends, e.g. whether Hindi's share grows over English in India, but that's more hazardous and happens less frequently.

 * 5) Similarly to the previous report, but useful for the community of each wiki. Should be extended to all projects, not just Wikipedia. Very important in that it's the only piece of statistics we have on the project portal(s), www.wikipedia.org. --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

24 Quarterly trends of page views/edits broken down by visiting country/region, by visited wiki
Note EZ: currently disabled as 1:1000 sampled log made results shaky for this level of detail

 * 1) Hell yeah. report 22 is of little use without this historic data.--Strainu (talk) 07:49, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 2) Loup Solitaire 81 (talk)
 * 3) Curious and simplifies the browsing of previous reports, but so far I think I never used it in decisions or anything. --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Unsure
 * 1) Nice trivia but I nver used it so far. I think it would be more useful if the numbers for each device/agent were expressed in percentage and the rows were sortable by any column. that would allow to quickly identify whether an issue affecting a certain user agent has a disproportionate effect in some region.  --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

27 Breakdown of page views by visiting country/region and operating system

 * Unsure
 * 1) Very nice trivia for FLOSS boasting (Linux has more than half the visits of Windows in Italy and Japan, let's prepare for beating Windows!), but I don't know about reliability and I can't imagine a practical usefulness right now. Percentages, as above, may be more useful for some edge cases like deciding in what platform to make a specialised app for a certain country. --Nemo 09:45, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
