According to Wikipedia, this list was "originally published on 28 November 2023 using English Wikipedia data pulled by the Wikimedia Foundation." On January 3, 2024, it will be updated with full-year statistics. All of the data includes pageviews that went directly to the articles as well as those that went indirectly via any redirects."
Furthermore, it stated that it eliminated any articles with "less than 20% or more than 75% mobile views," since this frequently connects with spam, botnets, and other issues.
