What does 'Views' mean?

On the App there is a row of buttons at the foot of the page. The fourth button is 'Edits'. When I press it I get the '''Edits''' page, with a couple of totals at top left. '4016 Contributions' is reasonable, being close to my total on the xtools 'Edit counts' page. But where does '2697 Views' come from, or what sort of views does it refer to? I can't see any similar total on 'Edit counts'.

Hello @Verbarson,

Thank you for reaching out and for your inquiry regarding the 'Edits' page on the Wikipedia mobile app. We appreciate your interest in understanding the statistics displayed there.

The '2697 Views' you see on the 'Edits' page of the app refers to the total number of page views for articles you have edited or contributed to.

It reflects how many times the articles you've edited or contributed to have been viewed by other users; the number of page views (in the last 30 days) of the last 10 articles to which you have added Wikidata descriptions.

If you have any further questions or if there's anything else you'd like to know about the app's features or statistics, please feel free to ask.
