This page contains a list of the largest Wikipedias under the auspices of the Wikimedia Foundation for various languages. Test Wikipedias are listed at the Wikimedia Incubator Wiki project.

This list of Wikipedias is based on the List of articles every Wikipedia should have (total: 1047 on the 2nd of July, 2008) as a sample, but the actual list which is used is at the end of List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Source code and can be a little different. For every Wikipedia, the articles in this sample list is retrieved (based on interwiki links from the English Wikipedia) and the number of characters is calculated (minus "comments" and the "interwiki" text at the bottom of the article). The size of each article is then adjusted for each language by multiplying it by the language weight. The articles are divided in four classes: "absent" (i.e. non-existing; size = 0), "stubs" (size in characters inferior to 10,000), "articles" (size between 10,000 and 30,000) and "long articles" (size superior to 30,000). The average weighted size of the non-absent articles in the sample is also calculated. Finally, a score is computed, based on the following formula: rawscore = stubs + articles*4 + long.articles*9. In order to have a consistent scale the raw score is normalized by dividing by the maximum score and multiplying by 100. The maximum score would be maxscore = (absent + stubs + articles + long.articles)*9. The final score is the following score = rawscore / maxscore * 100. The language editions are then listed in order of decreasing score.

A copy of the program used to obtain this list is in List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Source code.

Absent articles for major Wikipedias are in List of Wikipedias by sample of articles/Absent Articles.
