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 is run by the Wikimedia Foundation. Started on 11 May 2001,[1] the Chinese Wikipedia currently has 1,411,584 articles and 3,490,403 registered users, of whom 63 have administrative privileges.
The Chinese Wikipedia has been blocked in mainland China since May 2015.[2] Despite the block, it is still one of the ten most active language versions of Wikipedia (and it has the eighth-highest number of active users as of August 2021) due to contributions from users from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and the large Chinese diaspora.
Taiwan and Hong Kong contribute most of the page views of the Chinese Wikipedia.[3]
