The Simple English Wikipedia provides a simplified version of Wikipedia's English articles for readers with special needs. However, there are fewer efforts to make information in Wikipedia in other languages accessible to a large audience. This work proposes the use of a syntactic simplification engine with high precision rules to automatically generate a Simple Portuguese Wikipedia on demand, based on user interactions with the main Portuguese Wikipedia. Our estimates indicated that a human can simplify about 28,000 occurrences of analysed patterns per million words, while our system can correctly simplify 22,200 occurrences, with estimated f-measure 77.2%.
