[edit] History
The first Wikipedia related to the Hungarian language was created on September 5, 2001 by Larry Sanger, the English language Wikipedia coordinator at the time. He created the address at http://hu.wikipedia.com/. At that time Wikipedia was still running on UseModWiki. For many months there was little Hungarian content, and there were problems with vandalism.
The Hungarian Wikipedia as it is known today was launched on July 8, 2003. On this day, the opening page was made available with a Hungarian interface and in Hungarian, at its current address of http://hu.wikipedia.org/.

Hungarian Wikipedia reached the 50,000 article milestone on February 7, 2007. Extrapolating based on the current growth rate, the Hungarian Wikipedia is on pace to reach the 100,000 article milestone in the summer of 2008.
