}} She is an unofficial mascot of Wikipedia and is used at several WikiProjects. The -tan in "Wikipe-tan" is an affectionate suffix, in the form of a Japanese honorific. Like the OS-tans, she is a product of moe anthropomorphism.
Wikipe-tan is the mascot character for WikiProject Anime and manga and WikiProject Holidays' Christmas task force; she was also the mascot for Admin coaching, the Counter-Vandalism Unit, and a contender for an official Wikipedia mascot. In addition, Wikimedia Hong Kong uses Wikipe-tan images and her cosplay during functions and promotions. Wikipe-tan has occasionally been treated as a mascot for Wikipedia or its community in news reports.
Appearance
Wikipe-tan is a short, fair-skinned girl. Her light blue hair is in twintails with two puzzle pieces acting as a hook. Her most common outfit is a dark blue maid dress, with a collar and a white apron tied at the waist. Just like in her hair, she wears a puzzle piece on her collar with the symbol "{{lang|ja|ワィ}}", which is a misspelling of the katakana "{{lang|ja|ウィ}}" that was present in the previous logo from Wikipedia. She also wears tights that are the same color as her dress. Sometimes she wears dark brown slip-on shoes.
Background
The general idea for a "Wikipe-tan" mascot was posted on January 5, 2006, by the anonymous Taiwanese IP address 192.192.170.2, who suggested a mascot "just like OS-tan" on the Wikipedia mascot vote.{{cite web| url = http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_mascot&diff=prev&oldid=265387| title = How about Wikipe-tan just like OS-tan.| author = ((192.192.170.2))| publisher = Meta| date = January 5, 2006| access-date = March 7, 2011| archive-date = April 5, 2019| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190405222720/https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_mascot&diff=prev&oldid=265387| url-status = live}} Japanese Wikipedia user Kasuga drew at least two images of a "Wikipe-tan" character and posted them on the Futaba Channel on January 8; the thread was linked from the mascot discussion on January 13,{{cite web| url = http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_mascot&diff=next&oldid=270409| title = something like the one here?| author = ((72.137.173.201))| publisher = Meta| date = January 13, 2006| access-date = July 10, 2011| archive-date = April 5, 2019| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190405222721/https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_mascot&diff=next&oldid=270409| url-status = live}} and two of the images were uploaded to Commons and added directly to the discussion on January 18.{{cite web| url = http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_mascot&diff=next&oldid=272812| title = Um... it seems those images are GFDL ... let's put them here, then.|author=Shii|author-link=meta:User:Shii| publisher = Meta| date = January 18, 2006| access-date = July 10, 2011}}
Kasuga has stated that when designing Wikipe-tan and, later, her sisters, he kept two things in mind: Fujiko F Fujio's advice that a good character design should have a distinctive silhouette, and an observation by Scott McCloud in his Understanding Comics that golden age comic book artists gave each character symbolic color charts.{{cite web| url = http://kasuga39.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d14i6s0| title = Adult Wikipe-tan by ~Kasuga39| author = Kasuga| publisher = deviantArt| date = October 23, 2007| access-date = July 10, 2011| archive-date = August 10, 2011| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110810063135/http://kasuga39.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d14i6s0| url-status = live}}
The puzzle pieces worn by the character are from an earlier version of the Wikipedia puzzle globe logo. ワィ is a misspelling of ウィ ("wi"), the first syllable of the Japanese katakana transliteration of "Wikipedia", while 祖 is a kanji character apparently changed from the logo's 袓, the latter being a Chinese character not used in Japanese. The most up-to-date picture by Kasuga shows her wearing the characters 維 (being the first character of Wikipedia's Chinese name) and the correct Japanese katakana ウィ from the current Wikipedia logo.
On March 29, 2007, Wikipe-tan was joined by the moe anthropomorphisms for Wikipedia's sister projects, Commons-tan and Quote-tan. Kasuga has stated "...new Wiki-sisters will be designed in the future". However, Kasuga also stated that "there was no page that needed other sisters' images up to now. I might draw their images if there are pages which need them."
Although Wikipede received more support in the mascot vote, new Wikipe-tan images were made and saw continued use. Jimbo Wales described Wikipe-tan as a community mascot in 2007,{{cite web| url = http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&dir=prev&type=delete&user=Jimbo+Wales&limit=2| title = Community mascot| first = Jimbo| last = Wales| author-link = Jimbo Wales| publisher = Wikimedia Commons| date = June 8, 2007| access-date = March 7, 2011| archive-date = April 5, 2019| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190405222720/https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&dir=prev&type=delete&user=Jimbo+Wales&limit=2| url-status = live}} though he has since noted that he personally dislikes the character.{{cite web| url = http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Wikipe-tan&oldid=412515866| title = I am not a fan| first = Jimbo| last = Wales| author-link = Jimbo Wales| publisher = Wikipedia| date = February 7, 2011| access-date = February 7, 2011| archive-date = November 4, 2015| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151104134611/https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Wikipe-tan&oldid=412515866| url-status = live}}
