Encyclopedic overview

The Waray Wikipedia is the Waray language edition of Wikipedia. It is hosted on servers run by the Wikimedia Foundation since September 25, 2005. As of 1 June 2026, this Wikipedia has 1,266,916 articles and is the 17th-largest Wikipedia. The Waray Wikipedia has very few active users (78) and instead owes its large size to automatically generated articles created by bots, most of them by Sverker Johansson's Lsjbot.

Waray (or Waray-Waray) is spoken by approximately 3.6 million people in the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines. The Wikipedia was launched on 25 September 2005 and now has more than 1,000,000 articles, being thus in sixth place for size historically.
