Philly's Wiki Since 2011

  • To sample our variety, use the "Next Random Page" sidebar-menu item to quickly bring up a random sample. Just click it, then see a page, then click it again, then see another, ...
  • To look outside of Philadelphia, try our sister site, OtherNetworks! While you're there, look at some of the titles in the Searchable Listing of over 1,100 Humanity Rising Episodes, a series of recorded Zoom discussions that may include one that's irresistibly fascinating to you!
 WIKIDELPHIA UPDATE BOARD

◊ Wikidelphia's newest (finished) page is Small Biz Philly, completed on August 6, 2026.
◊ The most recent historic preservation conversion of a page was Carnaval de Puebla en Filadelfia (Is-Past), done on August 5, 2026.
◊ The page most recently migrated to OtherNetworks is Josh Mitteldorf, which was moved on August 5, 2026.
◊ On August 5, 2026, we scheduled "Random H.R. Page on O.N." X posts (or tweets) for Humanity Rising episodes #076 and #573 to appear on August 13 and 15.
◊ The latest full update of a page was done to Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia (PAGP) on August 4, 2026.
◊ Photos from randomly selected Wikidelphia pages were added (below on this Main Page) on August 4, 2026. The older two were moved to the bottom.
◊ Our newest stub is Yo Adrienne Improv Festival (YAIF), posted on August 4, 2026.

Wikidelphia has 2,565 pages organized with over 3,400 overlapping categories (as of September 12, 2025).

"Where Philadelphia Discovers Collaborators"
 Wikidelphia™ is primarily a crowd-sourced, categorized index to websites. It aims to answer the question, "What are the people of the Philadelphia region doing to help themselves, their neighbors and their communities?" -->

TIP (#14 OF 19)

 Beginning in February 2026, we started migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, OtherNetworks.org. Our staff editor had been wanting to do it for a long time, and a consultation with Grok AI validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover Philadelphia, especially since we also have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. As more non-local pages move to OtherNetworks, Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.
 Note: Our X account has been Philly-centric ever since we started on Twitter in 2022. In mid-2026 we started including posts (on X) about episodes from Wikidelphia inventor and owner Stan's other long-term project, the Humanity Rising series archive.
 All of the Tips that appear in this section of the Main Page can be seen in one view on the All Tips page.

Refreshing watermelon grown by members of the Black Farmers Co-op of Philadelphia.
The Catholic Charities Appeal (CCA) of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia brings hope where hope is needed most. From center city, to the suburbs, from the suburban communities to our most distressed communities, almost a million people each year receive hope through the Catholic Charities Appeal.
