Included are all languages in the category active Wikipedias of List of Wikipedias and a few "somewhat active".
Data on this page are updated daily and sorted automatically. Purge
Note that total numbers of active users does not really refer to the total distinct active users, but the total number of active registered accounts on all wikis for each group of languages, because many users have active accounts on multiple wikis (and some users have several active accounts on the same wiki, for different roles or types of operations, e.g. when acting as an official member of a working team or as a bot).
