The Eastern Min Wikipedia was originally written using only Fuzhou romanization characters. On June 23, 2013, influenced by the establishment of a Chinese character version of the Hakka Wikipedia, Eastern Min Wikipedia began to set up a Chinese character homepage, and since then, Chinese character version entries have gradually appeared. This project is also the second project in the Chinese Wikipedia to use both the Latin alphabet and the Chinese character writing system.
As of the end of November 2014, there were a total of 1,496 entries in the East Min Wikipedia, with one administrator and one active user (one who registered and edited more than five times a month). Ranked 202nd among all Wikipedia languages in terms of number of entries.[3]
