'''Wikipedians''' are people who write and edit the pages for [[Wikipedia]] as opposed to [[WP:Reader|readers]] who simply read the articles.

Anyone can be a Wikipedian—including you. Just click the edit link at the top of any page, or one of the ones at the beginning of each section. Visit the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|editing tutorial]] to learn more.

You can browse or search [[Special:Listusers|the full user list]], or request a [[Special:Random/User|random Wikipedian's user page]].

==Demographics==

The number of [[WP:WHY|named accounts]] has grown to millions (currently exactly '''{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}'''). Most account holders are not regular contributors, however. An unknown but relatively large number of unregistered Wikipedians also contribute. Detailed statistical information about Wikipedia is available at [[Wikipedia:Statistics]].

The diversity of Wikipedians renders it almost impossible to make many categorical statements about Wikipedians as a whole. Information about individual Wikipedians is available on the [[Wikipedia:User page|user pages]] of Wikipedians who choose to create them.

About 250,000 new accounts are created every month, and these numbers are growing. About 300,000 editors have edited Wikipedia more than 10 times. Approximately the same number, 300,000 editors, edit Wikipedia every month; out of those, about 50,000 do more than 5 edits and 5,000, more than 100 edits. The Wikipedians with the 4,000 highest edit counts are [[Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by number of edits|listed here]].

==Nomenclature==

It has been suggested that '''Wikipedist''' would be a more appropriate name, as an [[encyclopedist]] is someone who contributes to an [[encyclopedia]]. '''"Wikipedian"''', though, suggests being part of a group, community or [[demonym]]. So in this sense, Wikipedians are people who form '''[[Wikipedia:Community Portal|The Wikipedia Community]]'''.

==Contribution styles== <!--Wikipedia: Doers and discussers redirects here-->

Some Wikipedians [[WP:WC|welcome newcomers]]; some Wikipedians [[WP:KC|award those who they feel deserve awards]]. Some upload images; some work on history articles; some clean up grammar; and still others work on reverting vandalism. Many take on all of these tasks. Whatever one decides to do, every Wikipedian is presumed valuable.

{{See also|Wikipedia:Wikipediholic}}
Wikipedians have different characteristics on many aspects, of which boldness is one: On one hand there are 1RRs ([[Wikipedia:1RR]]), who rather discuss than engage in [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit wars]]. On the other, there are bold ones ([[Wikipedia:Be bold]]), who are doers rather than discussers.

In addition, there are Wikipedians who contribute mainly by writing and editing the contents of Wikipedia, and there are those who contribute to Wikipedia's administration or provide access to it for every single person on the planet.

Furthermore, a multitude of views and other contribution characteristics are represented well by common Wikipedia-related [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|userbox]]es: [[Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia]].
