The Kannada Wikipedia ( Kannada: ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ) is the Kannada-language edition of Wikipedia. Started in June 2003, it is moderately active and as of April 2024, it has 31,808 articles with 221 active users. [1] [2] It is the twelfth-most popular Wikipedia in the Indian subcontinent. [3]
The Kannada Wikipedia community held a meeting in Bangalore on April 2, 2006, which got fairly high press coverage. [4]
As of August 16, 2009 the Kannada Wikipedia had about 6,800 articles, [5] making it the 100th-biggest Wikipedia edition.
As of January 2016, the Kannada Wikipedia is the tenth-largest Indian-language Wikipedia, behind Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, and Punjabi. 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.
