:: <small>''Note:'' The article counts listed above for the main content projects split into different languages (Wikipedia through Wikivoyage) are based on stats collected between around 02:00 UTC on 2016-12-31 and 11:00 UTC on 2017-01-01 and posted to [[List of Wikipedias/Table|the]] [[Wiktionary/Table|pages]] [[Wikibooks/Table|tracking]] [[Wikiquote/Table|statistics]] [[Wikisource/Table|for]] [[Wikinews/Table|the]] [[Wikiversity/Table|various]] [[Wikivoyage/Table|projects]] here at Meta. The counts for the multilingual projects (Commons through Incubator) are based on stats collected between around 03:45 UTC on 2016-12-31 and 03:45 UTC on 2017-01-01 (not posted anywhere). In all cases, whenever possible, estimates of the counts at 00:00 UTC on 2017-01-01 were obtained by interpolating between count totals reported before and after that time. All counts are based on what MediaWiki sees as constituting an article, as reflected at each wiki's [[Special:Statistics]] page. Language counts include closed wikis and count "Simple English" as a separate language when such a wiki exists within a project.</small>
