Bosnian Wikipedia

On 17 February 2007, members of the Bosnian wiki community held the first in-person meet-up event in Sarajevo.{{cite web |url=https://bs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sastanci/Prvi_sastanak&oldid=274890 |title=First community meeting. |date=17 February 2007 |access-date=24 November 2013}} Another meeting was held in the same year, followed by meetings in 2008 and 2011.{{cite web |url=https://bs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sastanci&oldid=2266137 |title=Follow up meetings. |access-date=24 November 2013}}

In 2022, some Bosnian Wikipedia administrators were a target of accusations by several anonymous tabloid sources of promoting "Croatian nationalist political agenda".{{cite web |url=https://balkans.aljazeera.net/teme/2021/8/6/promoviraju-li-hrvatski-nacionalisti-politicku-agendu-na-wikipediji |title=Promoviraju li hrvatski nacionalisti političku agendu na Wikipediji? Akademici kažu da članovi krajnje desnice šire dezinformacije na Wikipediji na bosanskom jeziku. |trans-title=Are Croatian nationalists promoting a political agenda on Wikipedia?

• The Bosnian language officially uses two scripts, Latin and Cyrillic; however, the Bosnian-language Wikipedia does not feature a script converter like the Serbian and Serbo-Croatian language editions do.
• Bosnian is one of four standardized varieties of the Serbo-Croatian pluricentric language, making the practice of copying content between the four Wikipedias (Serbo-Croatian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian) with none or minimal textual changes easy and common.
