Wikipedia language editions with the most articles

How many articles each edition of Wikipedia holds, counting only linked pages in its main encyclopedia.

Source Wikimedia Foundation, as of 11 September 2026 · articles

List of Wikipedias on meta.wikimedia.org — the article count of every active language edition of Wikipedia, ranked by the page itself. An “article” is Wikipedia’s own content-page count — a page in the main encyclopedia namespace carrying at least one internal link, which leaves out redirects, talk pages and project pages. The table is fed from Commons Data:Wikipedia statistics and is regenerated several times a day, so it carries no measurement date of its own; this snapshot is the page as it stood on 2026-09-11. Closed and deleted editions are listed separately by the source and are not in this ranking.

Every round of Rank 100 drops a list like this one and asks each player for one entry on it. Get as close to #100 on the list as you can, without going over. #94 is Piedmontese — nobody at your table is saying Piedmontese.
