The Croatian Wikipedia (Croatian: Wikipedija na hrvatskome jeziku) is the Croatian language version of Wikipedia, which was created on 16 February 2003. It has 233,244 articles and a total of 7.46 million edits. It has 359,234 registered users, out of which 1,094 have been active in the last 30 days, and 14 administrators. Throughout 2014, fewer than two dozen editors made more than 100 edits a month; around 150 made more than 5 edits a month. As of July 2024, there were about 135 editors making at least 5 edits a month.
Between 2013 and 2021, the Croatian Wikipedia received attention from international media for promoting a Croatian nationalist far-right worldview, including anti-LGBT propaganda and bias against the Serbs of Croatia through historical denialism and the negation or dilution of the severity of crimes committed by the Ustaše regime under the Independent State of Croatia. The crimes of World War II–era criminals, as well as those of contemporary Croatian politicians and public figures, were whitewashed, supported by massive usage of unreliable sources, all of which received negative reception from the Croatian government, media, and historians. Several editors involved in co-opting Croatian Wikipedia throughout the 2010s were banned or demoted in 2021, when one of the most active administrators, under the username "Kubura", was found to have taken control of the site through approximately eighty sockpuppet accounts.
