The Kannada Wikipedia (Kannada: ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ) is the Kannada-language edition of Wikipedia. Started in June 2003, it is moderately active and as of April 2024, it has 31,855 articles with 221 active users. It is the twelfth-most popular Wikipedia in the Indian subcontinent.

The Kannada Wikipedia community held a meeting in Bangalore on April 2, 2006, which got fairly high press coverage.

History

The cake for the 9th anniversary of the Kannada Wikipedia.

As of August 16, 2009 the Kannada Wikipedia had about 6,800 articles, making it the 100th-biggest Wikipedia edition.

As of January 2016, the Kannada Wikipedia is the tenth-largest Indian-language Wikipedia, behind Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, and Punjabi. Administrator Omshivaprakash attributes the lack of articles to a lack of interest among the Kannada-speaking community, a lack of awareness of the Kannada Wikipedia and Kannada typing tools, and limited Internet access in parts of Karnataka.
