Notes

↑ ^a ^b ^c ^d ^e ^f ^g Some projects with a small and weak community can reach a large size due to the mass generation of low-quality content by the bot. The most striking examples of this kind are the Swedish and Cebuano Wikipedias. See also Proposals for closing Cebuano Wikipedia in October 2017.
