This page is for the announcement of milestones on the Wikimedia projects. If you want to make such an announcement, please post it here and translate it if you can.

Recommended article-count milestones are 100, 500, 1k (1,000), 2k, 5k, then 5k increments to 20k, 10k increments to 100k, 50k increments to 200k, 100k increments to 1M (1,000,000), 500k increments to 2M, 1M increments to 10M. Other milestones, such as page edits or registered users, can also be announced here, but typically only the powers-of-ten levels of these statistics are considered significant enough to announce.

Wikimedia Forum provides a place for general discussion.

December 2019

  • Wikipedia ends the year with 51,749,309 articles in 307 languages (plus 2 language wikis with 0 articles), which constitutes a 5% increase in articles over the past year.
  • Wiktionary ends the year with 32,460,486 entries in 154 languages (plus 20 language wikis with 0 entries), which constitutes a 7% increase in entries over the past year.
  • Wikiquote ends the year with 227,679 content pages in 76 languages (plus 13 language wikis with 0 content pages), which constitutes a 6% increase in content pages over the past year.

  • Wikinews ends the year with 234,835 articles in 34 languages, which constitutes a 6% increase in articles over the past year.
  • Wikiversity ends the year with 118,105 learning modules in 73 languages (comprising 115,312 modules in 17 separate language wikis and an additional 2,793 modules in 56 languages at Wikiversity Beta), which constitutes a 10% increase in learning modules over the past year.
  • Wikivoyage ends the year with 112,135 articles in 21 languages, which constitutes a 7% increase in articles over the past year.

  • Wikidata ends the year with 72,521,144 items, which constitutes a 35% increase over the past year.
  • Wikimedia Incubator ends the year with 132,150 content pages across 1,025 test wikis in 735 different languages (including any test wikis that have been opened but are currently empty), which constitutes a 21% increase in content pages over the past year.
  • There were 10 content wikis created in 2019, 3 fewer than were created in 2018.
Note: The article counts listed above are actual counts collected at (approximately) 00:00 UTC on 2020-01-01. All counts are based on what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article (or content page), as reflected at each wiki's Special:Statistics page. Language counts include closed (but not deleted) wikis and count "Simple English" as a separate language when such a wiki exists within a project. The test wiki counts for Beta Wikiversity and the Incubator were checked in the first hour (UTC) of 2020-01-01.

  • The Guianan Creole Wikipedia is open for editing after being created as a standalone wiki earlier today, with content imported from the test wiki at the Wikimedia Incubator; there is no official article count yet, since the wiki's statistics will not be initialized until 1 December.
  • The Shawiya Wiktionary is open for editing after being created as a standalone wiki earlier today, with content imported from the test wiki at the Wikimedia Incubator; there is no official entry count yet, since the wiki's statistics will not be initialized until 1 December. This is the first language to ever have a Wiktionary created as a separate subdomain before the corresponding Wikipedia (which is still a test wiki).

  • The Hindi Wikisource has fallen below 500 text units (currently at 414 text units) after being recounted for the first time since its content was imported.
14
  • The Kurdish Wiktionary has reached 800,000 entries.
  • The Balinese Wikipedia has been created as a standalone wiki and had its content imported from the Wikimedia Incubator in record time (on the same day); there is not yet an article count, but the on-wiki statistics are scheduled to be initialized (counted for the first time) tomorrow.

  • The N'Ko Wikipedia has had its articles counted for the first time since being created as a standalone wiki, resulting in 229 articles.
  • The Albanian Wiktionary has reached 10,000 entries.
  • The Yiddish Wiktionary has reached 500 entries.
  • The Thai Wikisource has dropped below 10,000 text units again (currently down to 7,732 text units, a loss of about 38% from its previous count 24 hours earlier), as the wiki continues to experience huge, sudden, "unexplained" changes in its text-unit count (first on August 9th, then when the wiki was recounted on September 15th and today, October 1st).

  • The Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia has reached 10,000 uploaded files.
  • The N'Ko Wikipedia has opened for editing after being created as a standalone wiki, with its content having been imported from the Incubator test wiki (the wiki's statistics have not yet been initialized, so there will not be an official article count until October 1st—but it will probably be somewhere around 200).
25
  • The Silesian Wikipedia has reached 50,000 articles, as a bot continues to create thousands of articles about fungi; such articles now constitute approximately 85% of the articles on the wiki.
24
  • The Azerbaijani Wikipedia has reached 150,000 articles.
  • The Bavarian Wikipedia has reached 30,000 articles.
  • The Silesian Wikipedia has reached 40,000 articles, as a bot continues to create thousands of articles about fungi; such articles now constitute approximately 80% of the articles on the wiki.
  • The Neapolitan Wikisource has reached 10,000 text units, as the counting method used on the wiki has been changed to count all pages in the content namespaces instead of only those containing a wikilink.

  • The Hindi Wikibooks has reached 500 book modules.
  • The Thai Wikisource has reached 10,000 text units again, after dropping below that level on August 9th; today's increase (not explainable based on observed on-wiki activity and hence apparently almost entirely due to the wiki being recounted) leaves the wiki at almost the same number of text units as it had before the unexplained drop.

  • The Shona Wikipedia has reached 10,000 registered users.
  • The Vietnamese Wikiquote has dropped below 200 content pages (down to 175), apparently because of a template change made to several hundred main-namespace pages (from one that contained a wikilink to one that does not).

  • The Thai Wikiquote has fallen below 500 content pages (a 93% drop from 3,257 one day ago down to 224 now) — this is presumably due to the regularly scheduled recount of all Wikimedia wikis, but the size of the drop is unexpected and currently unexplained. (Upon further research, the current count of 224 text units seems "not unreasonable" based on a random sample of main-namespace pages: only 1 of 30 sampled pages appeared to contain any wikilinks, giving a rough estimate of 0.0333… × 3,326 = 111 content pages. However, it is still not clear how the count remained above 2,000 for more than 2 years before today, and what changed in the last 17 days [since the last recount] to make it drop now.)
  • The Neapolitan Wikisource has fallen below 500 text units after being recounted completely for the first time since content importing was finished.

  • Wikidata has reached 1,000,000,000 page edits (about a day after the 1,000,000,000th numbered revision occurred — the difference is due to deleted entries/revisions).

  • The Wikimania 2018 wiki has been closed (locked to prevent public editing); starting this year all Wikimania events will be served by a single Wikimania wiki, using a different namespace for each year instead of a different wiki (note that pages are still being moved around the wiki to implement this plan).

Projects by number of content pages

The tables below are arranged chronologically by the original launch dates of the major content projects, within two main groups: "interlingual" projects (different wiki for each language) followed by "multilingual" projects (all languages on the same wiki). The older Wikimedia projects (such as Wikipedia) tend to be larger than the newer ones, but note that these tables are not arranged by number of sub-wikis nor by total article count (across all languages).

For the interlingual projects, within each table the individual language editions are arranged by milestone level, and then chronologically by the date the milestones were first reached.

Note: You can go directly to the table for Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, Wikimedia Commons, Wikispecies, or Wikidata.
