  1. ^ Although this was the first page created, it is arguably not an article. The next pages created were WikiPedia, although it served more as Help:Introduction rather than an article about Wikipedia, PhilosophyAndLogic, although it was created to serve a purpose similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy/Philosophers, and pages such as UnitedStates, PopularMusic, Sports, MathematicsAndStatistics, CountriesOfTheWorld, and AaA, which were just lists of links.
  2. ^ Created under the name AfghanistaN due to software considerations of the time. This was the first page created with actual encyclopedic prose content.
  3. ^ Created under the name TopOlogy due to software considerations of the time.
  4. ^ This count excludes cut-and-paste moves from CamelCase titles to underscore-spaced titles and creations of subpages. By raw page creation count, #1000 is ChristianBibleGenesis on 12 February 2001
  5. ^ Created under the title "Izbat al-Burj"
