The Vietnamese Wikipedia (Vietnamese: Wikipedia tiếng Việt) is the Vietnamese-language edition of Wikipedia, a free, publicly editable, online encyclopedia supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. Like the rest of Wikipedia, its content is created and accessed using the MediaWiki wiki software.
As of March 2024, it has about 1,292,000 articles. It is the fifth-largest Wikipedia in a non-European language, as well as the third-largest for a language which is official in only one country. In contrast to the English Wikipedia, the Vietnamese Wikipedia allows bots to create articles:[non-primary source needed] as of 2019, 63% of its articles had been generated in this way.[non-primary source needed]
The Vietnamese Wikipedia initially went online in November 2002, with a front page and an article about the Internet Society. The project received little attention and did not begin to receive significant contributions until it was "restarted" in October 2003 and the newer, Unicode-capable MediaWiki software was installed soon after.
By August 2008, the Vietnamese Wikipedia had grown to more than 50,000 articles—of these, approximately 432 of were created by bots.[non-primary source needed] By the time the project reached 100,000 articles on September 12, 2009, bot-generated articles made up around 5% of its corpus.[non-primary source needed] Stubs on the wiki number in the hundreds of thousands, including most of the bot-generated articles.
An experimental Wikipedia edition in the obsolete chữ Nôm script began in October 2006 at the Wikimedia Incubator. It was deleted in April 2010.[non-primary source needed]
The Vietnam Wikimedians User Group supports the development of the Vietnamese Wikipedia and other Vietnamese-language Wikimedia projects. It gained formal recognition as a Wikimedia user group on 28 August 2018.[non-primary source needed]
