Dutch Wikipedia

The Dutch Wikipedia (Dutch: Nederlandstalige Wikipedia) is the Dutch-language edition of the free online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. It was founded on 19 June 2001. As of September 2026, the Dutch Wikipedia is the sixth-largest Wikipedia edition, with 2,227,478 articles. It was the fourth Wikipedia edition to exceed one million articles, after the English, German, and French editions. Many articles, however, have been created by bots and are only a few lines long. In April 2016, 1154 active editors made at least five edits in that month. English is the most popular Wikipedia in the Netherlands, followed by Dutch. In Belgium, Dutch is the third most popular Wikipedia, after English and French, though the numbers of page views in all three languages are similar. In Suriname, the only Dutch-speaking country outside Europe, Dutch Wikipedia is second after English. It has a presence in Curaçao and Aruba, as well in the Caribbean Netherlands, but has fewer pageviews than English.
