The Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages (Kölsch: Wikkipedija en Ripoarisch Platt) is the Ripuarian edition of Wikipedia. It was started on July 6, 2005 as WiKoelsch on a private server, and was converted to an official Wikipedia during April 2006. As only about a million people speak the Ripuarian languages, the Ripuarian Wikipedia is relatively small. Since both the use of Ripuarian, and the population capable of using a Ripuarian language, are decreasing, it is also an endangered language Wikipedia. The total number of edits on this Wikipedia is 1,601,858.
