Hi,
Is there an existing tool that shows whether a Wikipedia article exists or doesn't exist in a list of languages sorted by the number of speakers?
For example, I'd give this tool an article name, and it would show me a list similar to the one at the English Wikipedia article [[List of languages by total number of speakers]], and indicating whether the article exists or not in each language.
If there is no such tool, I guess I could write something in SPARQL, but I'd have to learn SPARQL first, so I'm trying to ask here :)
Thanks!

Hi Amir,
I don't think such a tool exists now. I believe a SPARQL can do it.You can view some sparql examples and maybe personalize some of them here ( https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service...) or you can go here (https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Request_a_query), explain what you want to do, and an amazing person will write it for you!
Best, Reem

Hoi, If memory serves me well, there is a tool that intends to propose articles to write. Ask Leila Zia if it usable for any language.
Ps the notion that a Wikipedia article has to exist is stale. It has to be relevant in the context of the language / culture not necessarily what other languages deem relevant Thanks, GerardM

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but maybe this tool that lists articles created in other languages that are missing in a given language may be useful: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ptwikis/common-iw:pt
