There are two Norwegian language editions of Wikipedia: one for the more common Bokmål and Riksmål written standards of the language, and a second site for articles written in Nynorsk. The first site launched on November 26, 2001, and originally allowed articles to be written in any written Norwegian standard. A Nynorsk-specific Wikipedia was launched on July 31, 2004 and grew quickly. Following a vote in 2005, the main Norwegian site became Bokmål/Riksmål-only. By January 2006, the Bokmål/Riksmål edition had over 45,000 articles and the Nynorsk site has over 13,000 articles. The following month, it became the thirteenth Wikipedia to have more than 50,000 articles. Image File history File links Wikipedia-logo-nn. ...

One effect of this combined effort is the sharing of featured articles between the different Wikipedias. In linguistics, mutual intelligibility is a property exhibited by two or more distinct languages when speakers of one or more of the languages can readily understand at least one or more of the other language(s) without intentional study or extraordinary effort. ...
