Turkish Wikipedia
Turkish-language edition of the free-content encyclopedia
The Turkish Wikipedia (Turkish: Türkçe Vikipedi) is the Turkish language edition of Wikipedia, spelled Vikipedi. Started on 5 December 2002, as of 23 March 2024, this edition has 585,468 articles and is the 26th largest Wikipedia edition, and ranks 16th in terms of depth among Wikipedias.[1] Turkish Wikipedia has around 3 billion pageviews each year.[2]
In March 2017, before the block of Wikipedia in Turkey, 90% of pageviews of Turkish Wikipedia were from within the country. Germany was second with 2% share, as there are many Turks in Germany. Azerbaijan was the third country with 1.4% share, as Turkish and Azerbaijani are mutually intelligible Oghuz languages.[3] Although the block was lifted in 2020, statistics for pageviews in Turkey and most other Turkic speaking countries are no longer published; but those for some countries; such as Kyrgyzstan, Germany and the United States are.[4]
