| Complete list of Wikimedia projects — List of Wikimedia projects by size |
This page contains a list of all 285 languages for which official Wikipedias have been created under the auspices of the Wikimedia Foundation. Content in other languages is being developed at the Wikimedia Incubator; languages which meet certain criteria can get their own wikis.
The table entries are ordered by current article count. Each entry gives the language name in English (linked to the English Wikipedia article for the language), its "local name" (i.e., in the language itself, linked to the article in that language's wiki), the language code used in the wiki's URL and in interwiki links to it (linked to the local Main Page), as well as statistics on articles, edits, administrators, users, active users, and images (most linked to an appropriate local special page).
To start a Wikipedia in a new language, please see our language proposal policy and the Incubator manual. Note: Just adding a link below does not create a new Wikipedia, nor does it serve to request that one be created.
If a wiki becomes active and is not listed here, please post a notice on this article's talk page, including a link to all the relevant Wikipedia pages, and help promote the effort by announcing it on the Wikipedia-L mailing list, and at Wikimedia News.
The tables below are regularly completely overwritten by editors (using automatically gathered data from the Special:Statistics page of each wiki), so edits made to individual entries won't last long, and are therefore usually unnecessary. If something is wrong with an entry other than simply having slightly out of date statistics, post about it on the talk page.

- List of Wikipedias by edits per article (updated daily)
- List of Wikipedias by language group, family, and macrofamily (updated daily)
- List of Wikipedias by speakers per article (updated daily)
- List of Wikipedias by sample of articles (updated monthly)
- List of largest wikis (not just Wikimedia wikis)
- Wikipedia:Milestone statistics (tracking of major article-count milestones)
- Wikimedia News (announcements and tracking of milestones for all Wikimedia projects)
Notes
- The "Total" column refers to the number of pages in all namespaces, including both Articles (the official article count of each wiki) and Non-Articles (user pages, images, talk pages, "project" pages, categories, and templates).
- The "Depth" column (Edits/Articles × Non-Articles/Articles × Stub-ratio) is a rough indicator of a Wikipedia’s quality, showing how frequently its articles are updated. It does not refer to academic quality.
All Wikipedias ordered by number of articles
The languages listed below are Wikipedias which have been created (ordered by number of articles and within each number alphabetically from A to Z).

Deprecated, moved and other
Redirect:
- nan:, showing up in Special:SiteMatrix as existing Wikimedia language code but without any wiki, redirects to zh-min-nan:.
- cz:, redirects to cs:
Deprecated
- Alsatian wiki: als – extended when having 19 persistent articles; now for Alemannic dialects in general, no change in address.
alsis the ISO 639-3 code for Tosk Albanian;gswis considered. - Akan – ak – statistics – all articles – deprecated: Akan is now considered a family of languages. There is a Twi Wikipedia; if you'd like to write articles in another Akan language you can request a new Wikipedia.
Read-only (existing users can still log in; their user preferences are still effective but cannot be changed):
- The Kanuri Wikipedia has been closed, following a community vote. The reason was the absence of both content and community.
- The Choctaw Wikipedia has been closed following a community vote. The existing minimal content will possibly be moved to the incubator Wiki.
- The Moldovan Wikipedia. See Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Moldovan Wikipedia.
- The Hiri Motu Wikipedia was closed on 2007-07-09.
- The Kwanyama Wikipedia was closed on 2007-07-10.
- The Muscogee Wikipedia was closed on 2007-07-10.
- The Yi Wikipedia was closed on 2007-07-29.
- The Afar Wikipedia was closed on 2008-05-13.
- The Marshallese Wikipedia was closed on 2008-05-14.
- The Ndonga Wikipedia was closed on 2010-02-24.
Emptied and locked (this is different from "non-existing" in that it is in Special:SiteMatrix; also xx.wikipedia.org gives a non-existing "Main Page" as opposed to a browser message that the URL is wrong; furthermore the interlanguage prefix is still operational):
- The Herero Wikipedia was closed on 2007-07-24, but the original user pages still exist.
- nostalgia.wikipedia.org – read-only snapshot of Wikipedia's early days.
Moved and deleted
- The Toki Pona language edition of the Wikipedia is no longer hosted by Wikimedia and is now hosted by Wikia as Wikipesija.
- The Klingon language edition of the Wikipedia is no longer hosted by Wikimedia and is now hosted by Wikia as Klingon Wiki. There is more on the history of the Klingon Wikipedia.
- It is now widely agreed upon, that the creation of the Siberian language Wikipedia 2006 was based on a hoax. It was deleted 2007 after contents had been moved to the sibvolgota.
- The September 11 Wiki was hosted by Wikipedia from 2001 to 2008 despite having a different scope and point of view from all other Wikipedias. It was made read-only in 2006 and later closed. The content was moved to the site sep11memories.org, which has since been taken offline (archive).
Never been an official Wikipedia
- Lingua Franca Nova Wiki. A request for an official Wikipedia was rejected. It now has approximately 3,000 articles.
- Korean Hanja Wiki. The wiki of this writing system was rejected on new language request of Wikimedia. It now has approximately 500 articles.
- Prussian Wiki. A request for an official Wikipedia was rejected. It now has approximately 350 articles.
