It should be noted that some sections in this list are so-called “bothopedias”, that is, the sections either consist entirely of automatic fills (Cebuano, Warai), or contain a large percentage of such fills (Dutch, Swedish); In fact, the Russian Wikipedia is in fourth place after the English, German and French.
