Thanks for surfacing this.
I believe the reason for this are redirects:
Suggested fix: include the pageviews from all redirects when fetching the number of pageviews of an article per month fetchMonthlyViews
https://github.com/mnzpk/WikiNav/blob/main/client/src/services/pageviews.js
If I look up New_York in WikiNav, it says:
19.9k incoming pageviews1
1 The actual number of incoming pageviews received by New York is 15.4k.
Based on the rest of the footnote, I expected the first figure not to be higher than the second one.
I haven't tried to run WikiNav locally, so I don't know if this is specific to that server.
