The Nedersaksische Wikipedie, the Dutch Low Saxon edition of Wikipedia, was started on 24 March 2006. It collects articles written in any Low German dialect indigenous to the Netherlands, as well as dialects from the border region, which are rendered in Dutch-based spelling. As of February 2017, this edition has about 6,200 articles. Among other features, there are spoken articles, "showcased" articles and provincial portals. The Dutch Low Saxon Wikipedia has been cited in the Dutch press, and Low Saxon institutes in the Netherlands have noted it and contributed to it.
