Since CentralAuth's use of Special:CentralAutoLogin/start Special:CentralAutoLogin/createSession (~mid July 2013) Page Views shown on wikistats are too high, as webstatscollector counts the above requests and wikistats just sums over requests counted by webstatscollector. However, the above endpoints do not qualify as page view. [1] http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyOriginalCombined.htm
Initial report is at: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2013-November/128911.html Webstatscollector has been updated to filter Special:CentralAutoLogin/ (commit 0d7af935f989d5c539a4d2febde93ea0ae62571), and since 2013-12-03 the new version of webstatscollector is deployed. The last full file of the old webstatscollector is: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/2013/2013-12/pagecounts-20131203-190000.gz The file of the switchover is: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/2013/2013-12/pagecounts-20131203-200003.gz The first full file of the new webstatscollector is: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/2013/2013-12/pagecounts-20131203-210005.gz Filtering of webstatscollector between mid July 2013 and 2013-12-03 is still to be done.

Thanks for spotting and fixing this. Could the note about this correction also be added to the other pages on stats.wikimedia which are affected by this, e.g. http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyAllProjects.htm ?
