The Kannada Misplaced Pages (Kannada: ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಶ್ವಕೋಶ) is the Kannada-language edition of Misplaced Pages. Started in June 2003, it is moderately active and as of December 2024, it has 33,199 articles with 253 active users. It is the twelfth-most popular Misplaced Pages in the Indian subcontinent.
The Kannada Misplaced Pages community held a meeting in Bangalore on 2 April 2006, which got fairly high press coverage.
History
As of 16 August 2009 the Kannada Misplaced Pages had about 6,800 articles, making it the 100th-biggest Misplaced Pages edition.
As of January 2016, the Kannada Misplaced Pages is the tenth-largest Indian-language Misplaced Pages, behind Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, and Punjabi. Administrator Omshivaprakash attributes the lack of articles to a lack of interest among the Kannada-speaking community, a lack of awareness of the Kannada Misplaced Pages and Kannada typing tools, and limited Internet access in parts of Karnataka.
