'''<big>Wikinews</big>''' is a collection of [[wiki]] sites which present up-to-date, relevant, {{tag|news}}worthy and entertaining content; [[:Category:NPOV|without bias]], with content that is written by the volunteer [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews]] editors.  A linguistic '{{WMF.org|Our projects|project}}' of the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF), all textual content is released under the [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution|Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license]] (CC-BY 2.5), which makes the Wikinews content perpetually available for [[:Category:Free content|free]] redistribution and use.

{{tag|Wikinews}} was first suggested as a new wiki site in October [[:Category:Founded in 2004|2004]] by an [[IP editor|anonymous contributor]].  A demonstration site was created at <tt>demo.Wikinews.org</tt>, and on 2 December 2004, this demo was moved to <tt>en.Wikinews.org</tt>.  A day later, the German Wikinews was created, and late January 2005, four more language versions were created.  Throughout 2005 and beyond, further [[:Category:Wiki language|language versions]] were created.  The last language version created was the Limburgish version on November 2018.

As of May 2023, [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]] indicates that there are {{WMF-Meta|Wikinews#Wikinews Statistics|30 Wikinews versions}} (down from 33 in March 2013) in different [[:Category:Wiki language|languages]], with the [[Russian Wikinews|Russian]] version being the largest with nearly 1.5&nbsp;million articles, followed by the [[Serbian Wikinews|Serbian]] at more than 50,000 articles, with [[Português Wikinews|Portuguese]], [[Français Wikinews|French]], and [[English Wikinews|English]] versions all exceeding 20,000 articles.  New language versions are added when there is significant support for said language.  Meta-Wiki historical article {{WMF-Meta|new language pre-launch}} documents the evolution of some of the various language versions of Wikinews, and Meta-Wiki {{WMF-Meta|requests for new languages}} illustrates the process for all Wikimedia Foundation projects.  Just like the convention of other WMF projects such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], each Wikinews language version is a sub-domain under the <tt>Wikinews.org</tt> domain.  The [[Japanese Wikinews]], for example, is at <tt><nowiki>https://Ja.Wikinews.org</nowiki></tt>.[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews#Internationality]
