Wikipedia:List of Wikipedias

This is a table of detailed statistics of Wikipedias.

These statistics cover a range of metrics, such as article counts, total page numbers, user accounts, and more.

• The "total pages" 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, files, talk pages, "project" pages, categories, redirects, and templates).
• "Users" refers to the number of user accounts, regardless of current activity – not the number of people or devices using (accessing) Wikipedia.
• "Active users" are registered users who have made at least one edit in the last thirty days.
• "Files" is the number of locally uploaded files. Note that some large Wikipedias do not use local images and rely on Commons completely, so the value "0" is not an error. (see also the page list of Wikipedias having zero local media files on Meta-Wiki)
• The "depth" column (edits/articles × non-articles/articles × [1−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.
• Lsjbot, a bot run by Sverker Johansson, is responsible for much of the growth of the second and fifth-largest Wikipedias, the Cebuano and Swedish Wikipedias, respectively, as well as the rapid growth of the Waray Wikipedia.
• The statistics are derived from API:Siteinfo on MediaWiki and updated at Data:Wikipedia statistics/data.tab on Commons every six hours, and are displayed with {{NUMBEROF}} via {{Wikipedia stats}}.
• When the Northern Luri Wikipedia was closed due to not actually being written in Northern Luri, all articles except the main page were deleted.^[1] This produces an abnormal depth since the deleted edits and remaining non-articles are still counted.

Comparative information

Although the community of Wikipedia projects in each language is unique, each one wants its participants to support each other, to increase the number of readers and writers, and to make the data as accurate and as rich as possible. The level of achievement of these goals can be understood by comparing objective indicators.

• "Articles/Admins" - higher-numbered departments have fewer admins and are more likely to have authoritarian attitudes.
• "Articles/Active users" - a higher number of chapter contributors forces more effort to update article content to maintain the encyclopedic value of their project (the number of active contributors is too low).
• "Admins/Active users" - the internal atmosphere (friendly environment) of higher numbered compartments is more stable.
