Type of site
The Kannada Wikipedia (Kannada: ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ) is the Kannada-language edition of Wikipedia. Started in June 2003, it is moderately active and as of August 2024, it has 32,579 articles with 246 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 2 April 2006, which got fairly high press coverage.[4]
History
As of 16 August 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.[6]
