The Vietnamese Wikipedia (Vietnamese: Wikipedia tiếng Việt) is the Vietnamese-language edition of Wikipedia, a free, publicly editable, online encyclopedia supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. Like the rest of Wikipedia, its content is created and accessed using the MediaWiki wiki software.
Content
[edit]As of November 2024, it has about 1,294,000 articles.[1] It is the fifth-largest Wikipedia in a non-European language, as well as the third-largest for a language which is official in only one country. In contrast to the English Wikipedia, the Vietnamese Wikipedia allows bots to create articles: as of 2023, more than 58% of its articles had been generated in this way.[2]
History
[edit]The Vietnamese Wikipedia initially went online in November 2002, with a front page and an article about the Internet Society. The project received little attention and did not begin to receive significant contributions until it was "restarted" in October 2003[3] and the newer, Unicode-capable MediaWiki software was installed soon after.
By August 2008, the Vietnamese Wikipedia had grown to more than 50,000 articles—of these, approximately 432 of were created by bots.[4][non-primary source needed] By the time the project reached 100,000 articles on September 12, 2009, bot-generated articles made up around 5% of its corpus.[5][non-primary source needed] Stubs on the wiki number in the hundreds of thousands, including most of the bot-generated articles.
An experimental Wikipedia edition in the obsolete chữ Nôm script began in October 2006 at the Wikimedia Incubator.[6] It was deleted in April 2010.[7][non-primary source needed]
The Vietnam Wikimedians User Group supports the development of the Vietnamese Wikipedia and other Vietnamese-language Wikimedia projects. It gained formal recognition as a Wikimedia user group on 28 August 2018.[8][non-primary source needed]

The wiki reached the 500,000-article milestone on 28 September 2012, and the 1,000,000-article milestone on 15 June 2014.
Software
[edit]The Vietnamese Wikipedia uses AVIM, an input method that allows users to type Vietnamese text using popular input methods, such as Telex, VNI, and VIQR, selectable from the sidebar.
Vandalism
[edit]Several Vietnamese newspapers have reported on vandalism committed by users on the wiki, mainly on articles about celebrities.[9][10]
