Wikibooks (previously called Wikimedia Free Textbook Project and Wikimedia-Textbooks) is a wiki-based Wikimedia project hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation for the creation of free content digital textbooks and annotated texts that anyone can edit. Initially, the project was created solely in English in July 2003; a later expansion to include additional languages was started in July 2004. As of August 2022, there are Wikibooks sites active for 76 languages comprising a total of 332,343 articles and 1,272 recently active editors. History The wikibooks.org domain was registered on July 19, 2003 (2003-07-19). It was launched to host and build free textbooks on subjects such as organic chemistry and physics. Two major sub-projects, Wikijunior and Wikiversity, were created within Wikibooks before its official policy was later changed so that future incubator-type projects are started according to the Wikimedia Foundation's new project policy.In August 2006, Wikiversity became an independent Wikimedia Foundation project.Since 2008, Wikibooks has been included in BASE.In June 2016, Compete.com estimated that Wikibooks had 1,478,812 unique visitors. Wikijunior Wikijunior is a subproject of Wikibooks that specializes in books for children. The project consists of both a magazine and a website, and is currently being developed in English, Danish, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic and Bangla. It is funded by a grant from the Beck Foundation. Book content While some books are original, others began as text copied over from other sources of free content textbooks found on the Internet. All of the site's content is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license (or a compatible license). This means that, as with its sister project, Wikipedia, contributions remain copyrighted to their creators, while the licensing ensures that it can be freely distributed and reused subject to certain conditions. Wikibooks differs from Wikisource in that Wikisource collects exact copies and original translations of existing free content works, such as the original text of Shakespearean plays, while Wikibooks is dedicated either to original works, significantly altered versions of existing works, or annotations to original works. Multilingual statistics As of August 2022, there are Wikibooks sites for 120 languages of which 76 are active and 44 are closed. The active sites have 332,343 articles and the closed sites have 671 articles. There are 4,529,793 registered users of which 1,272 are recently active.The top ten Wikibooks language projects by mainspace article count: For a complete list with totals, see Wikimedia Statistics.
