Belarusian Wikipedia

umbrella term for two separate Belarusian-language Wikipedias (pre-1933 reform Taraškievica [be-tarask], and Narkamaŭka [be], official in modern Belarus) which shared a wiki until the creation of [be-tarask] – "be-x-old" redirects to "be-tarask"

There are two Belarusian Wikipedias: one in the orthography of the Belarusian language which is official in modern Belarus (Narkomovka, prefix "be:"), and another one in the pre-reform of 1933, classical orthography (Taraškievica, prefix "be-tarask:", formerly "be-x-old:").

History

change

The first Belarusian Wikipedia was started on August 12, 2004. One of its creators and first administrators was Uladzimir Katkouski (user name: rydel).[3][4] Katkouski/rydel (who died in 2007) created over 1,300 articles in the Belarusian Wikipedia alone.[4]
