On January 15th every year, Wikipedia celebrates its anniversary. The website was launched on January 15, 2001, as a free online encyclopedia.
The content found on Wikipedia is free, and the website is managed and updated through a team of volunteers in collaboration with the MediaWiki system. Currently, the Wikipedia platform is available in 326 languages.
The website is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in San Francisco, California.
