Article
The Uzbek Wikipedia (Uzbek: Oʻzbekcha Vikipediya) is the Uzbek-language edition of Wikipedia, founded in December 2003. Articles in the Uzbek-language edition are primarily written in Latin script. In August 2012, a Latin-to-Cyrillic converter was added to allow users to view Uzbek Wikipedia's pages in both Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
Although Uzbek is estimated to be spoken by 35 million people and Uzbekistan has approximately 17 million internet users, there are few active editors on Uzbek Wikipedia and many articles lack detailed citations or sourcing. Since early 2012, the number of active users and article structures has increased notably and the number of visits to the Uzbek encyclopedia has risen as well. From 2019 to May 2022, the number of active users more than doubled, surpassing 500.
