History [change]

Beginning [change]

Malayalam language Wikipedia is available in the wikipedia.org domain from 2002 December 21. A user Vinod Menon M. P. had taken initial tasks for it. After its creation he was the key person for the next 2 years. Almost all the early users of Malayalam Wikipedia were non-resident Malayalees. The growth of the Wikipedia during these times was very slow due to some technical issues such as browser problems, font problems etc.
