/* Manipulation */ It's trivial to modify if you control the database. Probably better to look at the returns from Google Analytics or the like.
How easy is it for a wiki to manipulate this figure by falsifying or inflating its statistics? My concern was mainly for its inclusion as a filtering criterion per [[mw:Extension:InterwikiMap/Data]]; we could add it if there were a way to verify the figure's validity.

:If they control the database, it is trivial to modify. Most larger sites will use a third-party tool like Google Analytics, and might give you access to view the account, which has greater validity - they'd have to manufacture actual visitors, which is more trouble than it is worth.
