When accessing a page through action=raw or action=render, is a view supposed to be counted?
According to my tests, they sometimes count as a view and sometimes do not. Is action=render and action=raw supposed to count or not?
I also tested with action=edit and action=history, which apparently count no views. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If there is an inconsistency, that is a bug. Please file a bug with your findings.
Sorry for late response.
Like that other comment noted, yes, the apparent inconsistency might be caused by caching and/or delayed database updates.
I might run another test soon.
But, as already asked, is HitCounters supposed to also count views on pages accessed with the action=raw and action=render URL parameters, or only when viewed normally?
I have done my own testing. Next to the default action=view, only action=render does count as view. action=raw does not.
I suggest other users to test it as well and share their results here.
I can confirm this too, but whether revision views count as a view is not tested so far. Maybe I will do it later.
But I think it does count as well, regarding ?action=render counts.
I have tested it it as well. Same results.
The render action counts as view, but not raw, and also not info, edit and exporting.
Hello, Mark.
I can't speak for the user above, but these perceived inconsistencies might be related to caching.
I came here because I had the same question as IP 79.249:
Which of the actions do supposedly count as view?
(This should be documented on the article.)
