'''Wikibooks''' (previously called ''Wikimedia Free Textbook Project'' and ''Wikimedia-Textbooks'') is a [[wiki]]-based [[Wikimedia project]] hosted by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] for the creation of [[free content]] [[digital textbook]]s and annotated texts that anyone can edit.

Initially, the project was created solely in English in July 2003; a later expansion to include additional [[language]]s was started in July 2004.<ref name="WikiStats">{{cite web | url=https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/EN/TablesArticlesTotal.htm | title=Wikibooks Statistics - Article count (official) | publisher=Wikimedia | access-date=28 January 2018 | archive-date=14 April 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414141656/https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikibooks/EN/TablesArticlesTotal.htm | url-status=live }}</ref> As of {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, there are Wikibooks sites active for {{NUMBEROF|active|wikibooks}} languages<ref name="Sitematrix">[[Wikimedia]]'s [[MediaWiki]] [[:mw:API:Sitematrix|API:Sitematrix]].
