A handful of contributors, with little variation over the years, have sustained this edition of Wikipedia since its inception, also staying on top of the vandalism which, although low-key, occurs with some regularity.

The eventual creation of a Dutch Low Saxon Wikipedia was delayed for months due to a debate on whether this collection of dialects – recognised and protected by the Dutch government in the framework of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages – merited their own Wikipedia.

Proponents made the case that the Dutch varieties are too different from the German ones, at least in writing, to be gathered under the same roof.

Some vocal opposition centred on the question of whether the often rather regionally distinct Low Saxon dialects spoken in the Netherlands could be taken as a whole and accommodated within one Wikipedia.

The frequency of vandalism – creation of nonsense articles, removal of content, disparaging remarks, 'correction' of Saxon to Dutch – has varied, it sometimes being a daily occurrence and at other times occurring little.

Another feature is that many articles on animals, plants, objects and activities include an overview of what is often a plethora of local names, differing per region and even per town.
