The Cebuano Wikipedia (Cebuano: Wikipedya sa Sinugboanon) is the Cebuano-language edition of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. It currently contains 6,125,193 articles, most of which were created by the automated program Lsjbot. There are 195 active users.
It is the largest Philippine-language Wikipedia by number of articles, ahead of Waray Wikipedia and Tagalog Wikipedia (which as of 10 January 2023 have 1,266,031 and 43,809 articles respectively).[1]
Cebuano is the second most spoken language in the Philippines with about 20 million speakers.[2] The Cebuano-language Wikipedia claims to be the only encyclopedia in this language.[3]
However, Cebuano Wikipedia does not appear to be widely used in the Philippines; as of March 2021,[update] 90 percent of Wikipedia views from that country were directed at English Wikipedia, with 5 percent going to Tagalog and 3 percent to Russian Wikipedia.[4] About 30 percent of Cebuano Wikipedia views come from China, 22 percent from the United States, and only 11 percent from the Philippines (roughly, the same number as from France).[5]
History and growth of articles
The Cebuano-language Wikipedia was launched in June 2005.[6] In January 2006, 1000 articles were created,[7] while in November 2006 there were 1400 articles.[8] At the end of 2006 and 2007, the bots created some ten thousand articles on municipalities in France.[9]
By the end of 2012, the number of articles increased to about 30,000. In December 2012, Lsjbot began to create articles. As a result, the number of articles increased dramatically in 2013, and from February to December 2013, the number of articles increased ninefold.[10][11] By the end of 2015, about 99 percent of the then 1.4 million articles had been created by bots, including about 25,000 articles about localities and the rest of articles about living beings by Lsjbot.[9]
On 16 July 2014, the Cebuano-language Wikipedia comprised one million articles, making it the twelfth-largest Wikipedia. After overtaking Spanish-, Italian-, Russian-, French-, Dutch- and German-speaking Wikipedia within a year and a half, in February 2016 it reached the two-million mark. After about half a year, followed by the third million, another half a year later, the fourth million. In August 2017, the five millionth article was created, making it the second largest Wikipedia.
Typical automated article by Lsjbot about the Agathis unicincta.
Article content in the Cebuano-language Wikipedia (July 2015, 1,211,364 articles): 95.8% (1,160,787) Taxonomy/living things; 3.3% (39,420) cities and communities.
An analysis of Cebuano Wikipedia content on Wikidata in July 2015 showed that of the then 1.21 million articles, 95.8 percent are living beings and biological species (1,160,787) and 3.3 percent are cities and communities (39,420).[17]
