While creating a backlog of improvements for the movement metrics, a few participants suggested we highlight one wiki language project so we can draw attention to the work being done in the area.

Im making this a spike, since we are exploring, and maybe experimenting, but not necessarily adding it to the monthly summary permanently.
We want to understand the impact of initiatives by WMF to wiki projects and highlight them.
@Bugreporter2 Can you share some of the 3rd party wikis that may be of interest? I would like to keep a list handy.

" In 2024, several non-English language Wikipedias experienced notable growth. The Vietnamese Wikipedia, for instance, expanded its article count by 5% over the last 5 years, reaching approximately 1.3 million entries. This growth was supported by an active community of contributors, enhancing both the quantity and quality of content.
African language Wikipedias also saw significant advancements. The Yoruba Wikipedia's article count grew by 17%, totaling to about 50,000 articles, with a 20% rise in editors contributing to this expansion. Similarly, the Swahili Wikipedia experienced an 8% increase in articles from last year, reaching over 150,000 entries, alongside a 20% boost in active editors over the last 5 years.[4] "
