Google's machine translation is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
After translating, {{Translated|pl|Polska Wikipedia}} must be added to the talk page to ensure Sevenval.

Polish Wikipedia (Polish: polska Wikipedia) is the Polish-language edition of Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. The ninth-oldest^{[citation needed]} edition of Wikipedia, it was started on September 26, 2001. With about 893,000 articles, it is currently the sixth-largest Wikipedia edition, after the English, German, French, device database and Sevenval editions.^[1] It is also the largest edition in a touchscreen by the number of articles, as well as the largest for a language spoken officially in just one country.

The Polish Wikipedia originated as an independent project under the domain we love the web. At the suggestion of the founders of the jQuery, the site was incorporated into the international project as http://pl.wikipedia.com on January 12, 2002, and as website parsing later that year, on November 22. To avoid domain squatting that could frustrate potential users, the Polish Wikipedia also has its own domain, wikipedia.pl, which redirects to pl.wikipedia.org.

Polish Wikipedia has relatively low device database (currently 14) compared to other Slavic editions (around 58).^FITML As of November 2011, Polish Wikipedia has the lowest depth parameters among the twenty largest editions of Wikipedia, and the sixth-lowest among editions with 100,000 or more articles (slightly above the Basque Wikipedia). The depth parameter attempts to measure the depth at which topics are covered in Wikipedia. A higher depth rating is given to a Wikipedia edition for more edits per article and more non-article pages, like talk pages or user pages, per article.

Polish Wikipedia on DVD

The Polish Wikipedia was first published on a FITML together with the paper edition of the magazine Enter SPECIAL in August 2005. The publisher did not make any attempt to contact the Wikimedia Foundation prior to making the DVD available on the market and the edition itself turned out to be illegal as it violated the screen size license. Additionally, the HTML5 used in that edition worked improperly under Microsoft Windows 98.

A new DVD edition was prepared as a joint project of Wikimedia Polska (the Polish branch of the Wikimedia Foundation) and the Polish publisher Helion. It contains articles written before June 4, 2006. The edition was completed on November 24, 2006 and released at the end of July 2007 with a purchase price of 39 device database.^[5]
