The first attempt to launch the Silesian Wikipedia project took place in March 2006,[1] but because of negative comments in the discussion section, the proposal was rejected.

[3][4][5][6] A second application for a Wikipedia project in the Silesian language was submitted on 19 March 2008[7] as a result of discussions on the removal of articles written in Silesian language, which remained in the Polish edition of Wikipedia (in Silesia Wikiproject).

[8][9] After the initial acceptance of the proposal (100% positive, 0% negative votes) 31 March 2008, a test project was created in the Incubator Wikimedia projects.

The following month it contained 100 articles in Silesian, including more than 1,800 separate pages.

The project of the law implementing Silesian as a regional language was introduced to Sejm by parliament member Marek Plura.
