The Kannada Wikipedia (Template:Lang-kn) is the Kannada-language edition of Wikipedia. Started in June 2003, it is moderately active and as of July 2026, it has Template:NUMBEROF articles with Template:NUMBEROF active users.[1] It is the twelfth-most popular Wikipedia in the Indian subcontinent.[2]
The Kannada Wikipedia community held a meeting in Bangalore on April 2, 2006, which got fairly high press coverage.[3]
History
As of August 16, 2009 the Wiki had about 6,800 articles,[4] making it the 100th-biggest Wikipedia edition.
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.Template:Uncited
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.[5]
