The Afrikaans Wikipedia (Afrikaans: Afrikaanse Wikipedia) is an Afrikaans language edition of the Web-based free-content encyclopedia Wikipedia. The project was started on November 16, 2001, and was the 11th Wikipedia to be created.[1] As of 13 May 2009, this edition has over 12,000 articles[2] and is the 79th largest Wikipedia by number of articles. Aside from South Africans, this Wikipedia is also used and edited by people from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Belgium, Namibia, Germany and some from Scandinavia.[3]
It is the second largest African language Wikipedia, outside of the colonial languages, and was the first African language Wikipedia to pass 10 000 articles. [4] The largest is now Swahili.
On 4 November 2009 the wikipedia received a homepage makeover.
