English Wikipedia logo Wikipedia is a project dedicated to the building of free encyclopedias in all languages of the world. The project began with the English-language Wikipedia on January 15, 2001. On March 16, 2001, it was joined by German Wikipedia, and shortly afterwards by many other languages. Large efforts are underway to highlight the international nature of the project. As of August 2026, there are 347 Wikipedias which have over 100 articles, 183 of which have over 10,000 articles, and 77 of which have over 100,000 articles. As of August 2026, there are 364 language editions of Wikipedia, which collectively have 68,139,546 articles. For detailed statistics, see the List of Wikipedias.

The most striking examples of this kind are the Swedish and Cebuano Wikipedias. See also Proposals for closing Cebuano Wikipedia in October 2017.
