Slovene-language edition of Wikipedia

AI overview

Slovene Wikipedia is the version of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia written in the Slovenian language, allowing Slovene speakers to access and contribute to knowledge in their native language. It matters because it helps ensure that people who speak Slovenian can participate in the collaborative creation of a global knowledge resource, rather than being limited to encyclopedias in other languages.

Encyclopedic overview

The Slovene Wikipedia (Slovene: slovenska Wikipedija) is the Slovene-language edition of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. It has been active since 26 February 2002. On 15 August 2010, it reached 100,000 articles. As of 1 June 2026, it has 197,830 articles and is the 56th-largest Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is a widely used reference work and one of the most visited social networking services by users from Slovenia, but official internet usage statistics do not distinguish between Wikipedia editions, analyzing only the base domain wikipedia.org. In most cases, the Slovene-language edition gets a passing note of its existence in media reports about Wikipedia in general. However, as a relatively large and freely accessible body of structured knowledge, Slovene Wikipedia has been used, as an example, for building text corpora for the purpose of training linguistic software and analyzing Slovene literary authors' web presence. There are several successful collaboration projects with professors at the University of Ljubljana, using content creation by students as a teaching method. Since 2025, an active wikiclub is functioning in the same university, contributing to the growth of Slovene Wikipedia and contributing to the outreach of the Slovene Wikipedia in young people.
