But I have seen questions raised for you regarding this number. People have found out that till mid February there were only around 27 thousand pages, how did Urdu wikipedia reach 50,000 mark in 2 months? Someone also found that most of the recent activity is due to Bot operation and 90% of pages are less than 20kb in size, which means they are nearly substubs.

Dear friends,

I am pleased to inform you that today the Urdu Wikipedia has crossed the 50,000 articles mark.

I am honoured to be a humble contributor of this Wikipedia which has reached a dream milestone which is yet to be covered by many other Wikipedias.

The focus, as the community feels, will now shift on referencing and elaborating many of the existing articles to satisfactory levels.

Also, the next target is to cross the 1,00,000 articles mark.

Regards,
Muzammil.
