Chinese Wikipedia is the version of Wikipedia written in Chinese, allowing millions of Chinese speakers around the world to access and contribute to the free online encyclopedia. It matters because it provides a platform for Chinese-speaking communities to share knowledge and information in their own language, though its content and accessibility can be affected by factors like government restrictions in mainland China.

Encyclopedic overview
The Chinese Wikipedia (traditional Chinese: 中文維基百科; simplified Chinese: 中文维基百科; pinyin: Zhōngwén Wéijī Bǎikē) is the written vernacular Chinese edition of Wikipedia. It was created on 11 May 2001. It is one of multiple projects supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.
The Chinese Wikipedia has been blocked in mainland China since May 2015. Nonetheless, the Chinese Wikipedia is still one of the top ten most active versions of Wikipedia by number of edits and number of editors, due to contributions from users from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Chinese diaspora. Readers from Taiwan and Hong Kong contribute most of the page views of the Chinese Wikipedia.
