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. Try mixing things up with other milestones, such as active users or new articles per day.

Wikimedia Forum provides a place for general discussion.

September 2015[edit]

  • After years of little progress, Wikimedia is finally switching from using the private language code be-x-old for Taraškievica (Belarusian Classical Orthography) to using the standard code be-tarask: requests for be-x-old.wikipedia.org are now automatically redirected to be-tarask.wikipedia.org, and the interlanguage prefixes be-x-old: and be-tarask: both now point to the latter domain; also, the sitematrix entry now links to "be-tarask", even though it still lists "be-x-old".

  • A new interwiki prefix, policy:, has been added to the interwiki map, for linking to the new Wikimedia Public Policy website.

  • The Korean Wikiquote has reached 500 content pages.
  • The Sindhi Wikipedia has reached 2000 articles, as a local admin has created dozens of "skeleton" pages (i.e., containing a template but no actual content) for years in the 9th century.
  • The Serbian Wikiquote and the Usability wiki (closed for regular edits) have each reached 10,000 page edits, as a maintenance script has been moving user pages for recently renamed users.

  • The long march toward Single User Login is entering its final phase, as 1.5 million user accounts are being renamed to ensure that each account name is unique and refers to the same user across all Wikimedia projects.

  • The German Wikiversity has reached 20,000 learning modules (up almost 15,000 from the count 24 hours ago), apparently the result of the on-wiki stats being recalculated (neither recent edits nor page imports can account for the jump).

Older news[edit]

For older news items, see the archive at Wikimedia News/2014. Archives for earlier years are listed at the top of this page.

Projects by number of content pages[edit]

The tables below are arranged chronologically by original launch date 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.

For the intelingual 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 Wikipedias, Wiktionaries, Wikiquotes, Wikibooks, Wikisources, Wikinews, Wikiversities, Wikivoyages, Wikimedia Commons, Wikispecies, or Wikidata.
