Armenian Wikipedia

The Armenian Wikipedia (Armenian: Վիքիպեդիա or Վիքիպեդիա Ազատ Հանրագիտարան, romanizedVikipedia or Vikipedia Azat Hanragitaran; Western Armenian: Ուիքիփետիա) is the Armenian language version of Wikipedia.

It was created in February 2003 as Հայերեն Վիքիփեդիա, but started developing in 2005.[attribution needed] The name was changed to Հայերեն Վիքիպեդիա on 5 April 2012. With all of its current content, it is listed in List of Wikipedias in the 100,000+ category.

Armenian Wikipedia launched later the option of reading all contents, if preferred, in traditional (Mesrobian) orthography, rather than the Reformed (Abeghian) orthography. Armenian Wikipedia also carried at times parallel articles in Western Armenian language spoken widely in the Armenian diaspora.

On 1 April 2019 however, a separate site was launched in Western Armenian under the name Հայերէն Ուիքիփետիա with a project of moving Western Armenian materials there and expanding content in the new Western Armenian Wikipedia space.

It has 327,505 articles. It also has 169,927 registered contributors, including ten administrators.

On 29 July 2023, it reached 300,000 articles.

The Armenian language used is mainly the Eastern Armenian dialect. However, the Armenian Wikipedia is inclusive, and also contains articles of interest in the Western Armenian dialect, which is predominantly spoken in the Armenian Diaspora.

Some articles have separate Eastern and Western Armenian versions. In those cases, the articles' secondary dialect is positioned at the top right corner of the article with the primary dialect. Articles in Western Armenian used to be distinctly categorized at Category: Wikipedia Articles in Western Armenian.
