==History==<br />
[[File:Kannada Wiki 9th Annivesary Cake.JPG|thumb|200px|The cake for the 9th anniversary of the Kannada Wikipedia.]]<br />
As of August 16, 2009 the Wiki had about 6,800 articles,<ref>[[:kn:ವಿಶೇಷ:Statistics|Statistics - Wikipedia]] {{in lang|kn}}</ref> making it the 100th-biggest Wikipedia edition.<br />
<br />
As of January 2013, it has 12,961 articles with 93 active users and 2,680 images, making it the 108th Wikipedia by articles count, at that time.{{uncited|date=November 2017}}<br />
<br />
As of January 2016, the Kannada Wikipedia is the tenth-largest and, thus, the smallest Wikipedia among other Indian-language Wikipedias. Administrator Omshivaprakash attributes the lack of articles to a lack of interest among the Kannada-speaking community, a lack of awareness of the Kannada Wikipedia and Kannada typing tools, and limited Internet access in parts of [[Karnataka]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/kannada-wikipedia-not-on-top-of-the-charts/article8123183.ece |title=Kannada Wikipedia not on top of the charts |last1=Khajane |first1=Muralidhara |date=19 January 2016 |website=The Hindu |access-date=29 March 2016}}</ref><br />
