The Chinese Wikipedia (traditional Chinese: 中文維基百科; simplified Chinese: 中文维基百科; pinyin: Zhōngwén Wéijī Bǎikē) is the written vernacular Chinese (a form of Mandarin Chinese) edition of Wikipedia. It has been run by the Wikimedia Foundation since 11 May 2001.[1]
The Chinese Wikipedia currently has 1,452,258 articles, 3,623,644 registered users, and 7,077 active editors, of whom 65 have administrative privileges.
The Chinese Wikipedia has been blocked in mainland China since May 2015.[2] Nonetheless, the Chinese Wikipedia is still one of the top ten most active versions of Wikipedia by number of edits and number of editors, due to contributions from users from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Chinese diaspora.
Taiwan and Hong Kong contribute most of the page views of the Chinese Wikipedia.[3]
