Going directly to the source, it says,

The  popularity  of Chess Variant Pages is evident, with almost a  quarter  of  a  million page  views  and  nearly  100,000   visitors   a   month.

Wikipedia replaced "almost" and "nearly" with "over," which changes the meaning.

Looking at figures for this year, which is all I have since moving the site, the main site has been getting in the neighborhood of 50,000 unique visitors each month with something in the neighborhood of 80,000 visits each month. The play subdomain has been hovering around 3000 unique visitors per month with something around 6000 visits per month. Although the vistor count has gone down, the page view count has gone up. The main site plus the play subdomain combined have had more than a quarter million page views each month, exceeding half a million last month. Since activity on this site doesn't reflect such huge numbers, many of the unique visitors could be bots and spiders crawling the site or lurkers just looking something up. Some of the unique visitors could also be the same person using different devices. For example, I visit this site from my desktop, from my Windows 10 tablet, from my Kindle, and from some Android devices.
