The Eastern Min Wikipedia (Foochow Romanized: Bànguâpedia[1]) is the Mindong Chinese edition of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The project was started on September 30, 2006.[2] The writing system used in Mindong Wikipedia is Foochow Romanized, a romanized orthography based on the standard Fuzhou dialect that was introduced by Western missionaries in the 19th century, and Chinese Characters although most articles are in Foochow.

The Eastern Min Wikipedia was originally written using only Fuzhou romanization characters. On June 23, 2013, influenced by the establishment of a Chinese character version of the Hakka Wikipedia, Eastern Min Wikipedia began to set up a Chinese character homepage, and since then, Chinese character version entries have gradually appeared. This project is also the second project in the Chinese Wikipedia to use both the Latin alphabet and the Chinese character writing system.

Population

As of the end of November 2014, there were a total of 1,496 entries in the East Min Wikipedia, with one administrator and one active user (one who registered and edited more than five times a month). Ranked 202nd among all Wikipedia languages in terms of number of entries.[3]
