The Tagalog Wikipedia was launched on December 1, 2003 as the first Wikipedia in a

language of the Philippines requested at the Wikimedia Incubator, where potential

Wikimedia project wikis in new language versions can be proposed.
As of February 3, 2011, it has more than 50,000 articles.[5] Bantayan, Cebu became
the 10,000th article on October 20, 2007 while Pasko sa Pilipinas (Christmas in the
Philippines) became the 15,000th article on December 24, 2007.[6] Localization of
software messages through the Betawiki (or translatewiki.net) was finished on
February 6, 2009.[7]
In 2011, the Tagalog Wikipedia was part of the WikiHistories fellowship research
project of the Wikimedia Foundation. The project tries to capture the triumphs,
failures, and daily struggles of the editors working to make the dream of globally
shared knowledge a reality.[8]
