WIGI (WiKipedia Gender Inequality Index) is a project based on a set of open data obtained from Wikidata on sex, date of birth, place of birth, ethnicity, occupation and language of articles on biographies in all Wikipedias.
The WIGI Interactive Graphic shows the Wikipedia in forty languages and informs us of the number of biographies that have been edited during the last week separating the biographies of men from those of women, in addition to reporting the percentage that they represent as a whole. For example in the Spanish Wikipedia, Between February 15 and 22, 2016, 915 biographies of men and 189 of women have been created, representing a percentage of 20.66%. The German Wikipedia is in which more biographies have been published, 2,418 biographies of men and 292 of women with a percentage of 12.08 %.

On the other side of the scale, there's the Hindi Wikipedia with only 1.3. % of biographies of women, that is, they have edited 77 biographies of men and only 1 of women.
