In August 2012, a Latin-to-Cyrillic converter was added to allow users to view Uzbek Wikipedia's pages in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

hypothesized that the encyclopedia had been blocked because the Uzbek government was concerned about the appearance of articles critical of its actions.

speculated that the Uzbek Wikipedia had been blocked simply as an "act of showmanship" because the government of Uzbekistan saw Uzbek-language content as subject to its jurisdiction.

In addition, selected words and phrases that were used in Ozodlik Radiosi's reports were hyperlinked to corresponding entries in the Uzbek Wikipedia to popularize the encyclopedia.

[11] The OzodWiki project was "mutually beneficial, enabling Ozodlik users to click through to expanded information resources while popularizing Wikipedia by driving new topics and audience their way.

[20] In May 2022, the Agency for Youth Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan launched the WikiStipendiya edit-a-thon in collaboration with the Agency of Information and Mass Communications under the Administration of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Council of Young Artists, and the Wikimedians of the Uzbek language User Group.

The editathon was inspired by a decree of Shavkat Mirziyoyev on improving the presence of the Uzbek language in the digital world.

It focuses on encouraging content creation on the Uzbek Wikipedia, particularly by students, but is not limited to any group.

After the inspections, people from the Youth Affairs Agency contacted Uzbek admins and Wikipedians for the possibility of a collaboration that materialized in the WikiStipendiya contest in 2022.

In the first week of August, Uzbek Wikipedia conducted the WikiOromgoh (WikiCamp) program, hosted by the Agency for Youth Affairs and the local Wikimedians catering to young Wikipedians.

Starting from 1940, Uzbek began to be written in the Cyrillic alphabet, which remained the predominant form of writing until 1993.

A new Latin alphabet was introduced to Uzbek after Uzbekistan gained independence from the Soviet Union.

Currently, the Latin script is used in school and university textbooks, some newspapers, and some official papers.

Currently, the Uzbek Wikipedia has a function ("vikifikator", literally "wikifier") that allows editors to easily convert Cyrillic text into Latin while editing.

In August 2012, a Latin-to-Cyrillic converter was added to allow users to view Uzbek Wikipedia's pages in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

[8] However, in 2012 the Uzbek Wikipedia started to grow fast despite being blocked in Uzbekistan and since that time the number of well-written articles on important subjects has increased significantly.

In 2013, the coverage of the Uzbek Wikipedia expanded noticeably after all of the articles of the National Encyclopedia of Uzbekistan were added to it using a bot.

Currently, the majority of articles on the Uzbek Wikipedia are about populated places, astronomical objects, people, music, and football.

The most comprehensive articles are entries about stars, philosophy, the Republic of Korea, Tehran, Aleppo, Karabulak, Texas, Encyclopædia Britannica, Ali-Shir Nava'i, Cristiano Ronaldo, and the British Empire.

The editing depth of the Uzbek Wikipedia, which is a rough indicator of the encyclopedia's collaborative quality, is 37.2.

[7] Initially Internet users in Uzbekistan trying to access Uzbek-language pages got redirected to msn.com of Microsoft.

Some expressed the view that the encyclopedia had been blocked because the Uzbek government was concerned about the appearance of articles critical of its actions.

[3] Sarah Kendzior, an American anthropologist, speculated that the Uzbek Wikipedia had been blocked simply as an "act of showmanship" because the government of Uzbekistan sees Uzbek-language content as subject to its jurisdiction.

Between 2013 and 2019, users in Uzbekistan could generally access pages of the Uzbek Wikipedia without major problems.
