Serbian Wikipedia

The Serbian Wikipedia (Serbian: Википедија на српском језику/Vikipedija na srpskom jeziku) is the Serbian-language version of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Created on 16 February 2003, it reached its 100,000th article on 20 November 2009 before getting to another notable milestone with the 200,000th article on 6 July 2013.

It currently has 129,022 registered users (637 active ones) and about 332,000 articles, making it the second largest South Slavic Wikipedia (28rd overall), just behind Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia (19th overall).

The Serbian Wikipedia uses ZhengZhu's character mapping program to convert between Cyrillic and Latin scripts.

History

Serbian Wikipedia was created on 16 February 2003 along with the Croatian Wikipedia when both split off from the joint Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia. The main page was translated from English into Serbian on 22 April 2003 by an unknown user with IP address 80.131.158.32 (possibly from Freiburg, Germany), and user Nikola Smolenski finished the translation on 24 May.
