Crimean Tatar Wikipedia
Crimean Tatar–language edition of Wikipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crimean Tatar Wikipedia (Crimean Tatar: Qırımtatarca Vikipediya, in Romanian standard: Kîrîm Tatarşa Wikipediya) is the Crimean Tatar language edition of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Work began in 2006 when a test version in Crimean Tatar was set up as part of the Wikimedia Incubator.[1] The Crimean Tatar Wikipedia was created on 12 January 2008.[2][3] The Crimean Tatar Wikipedia supports also the Romanian standard of the language (Dobrujan Tatar).

Statistics
The encyclopedia reached several milestones over time, including 1,000 articles in 2009, 5,000 articles in 2016, and 10,000 articles in 2021. Due to the Russo-Ukrainian War, in 2022 alone, 5,000 new articles were added within six months.[5] As of September 2026, Crimean Tatar Wikipedia has 29,731 articles.[6][better source needed][7] The main problem of the project is a lack of volunteers. The vast majority of edits are made by several volunteers, none of whom is a native speaker.[8]
