The Azerbaijani Wikipedia (North Azerbaijani: Azərbaycanca Vikipediya) is a Wikipedia in the Azerbaijani language, launched in January 2002.[1] As of 26 October 2024, it has 199,926 articles and 14,810 uploaded files in its content, as well as 299,546 registered users (including 15 administrators).[2] The editorial process is being supported by eighteen bots.
Within the first two years of its creation the Azerbaijani Wikipedia reached 3,000 articles.[3] As of November 2010, the local list of requested articles contained ten entries (seven biographical, two scientific and one unspecified). Pending November 2010 translation requests comprised three English and three Turkish entries.
The categorization is maintained through nine topic categories: culture, geography, history, life, mathematics, nature, science, society and technology. Hidden categories embrace 111 entries. The backlog category contains 14 subcategories. [citation needed]
There are also fourteen portals about architecture, biology, chemistry, history, Islam, geography, literature, medicine, philosophy, Azerbaijani cinema, Azerbaijani military, as well as country-specific ones about Georgia, Turkey and Azerbaijan itself.[citation needed]
Azerbaijani Wikipedia is constantly increasing its number of articles, but at some point in 2015 this number somewhat decreased, returning to values smaller than 100,000.

The first meetup was held in Baku on 6 December 2009. The event was organized in order to establish relations of friendship and familiarity between Wikipedians and a number of other issues – including technical problems and prospects for future development.
In order to solve the problems, an emergency meeting was organized on 23 October 2010 in Baku. About 9 users participated in it.
