WIKIDELPHIA UPDATE BOARD ◊ On September 19, 2026, I texted Stan all of the photo pairs that have been appearing on this Main Page. Seeing them all in a set was so beautiful that I want to show them to you all at once. So I started the Wikidelphia Main Page Photo Gallery. ◊ On September 16, 2026, we scheduled "Random H.R. Page on O.N." X posts (or tweets) for Humanity Rising episodes #440 and #673. The posts will appear on September 17 and 19, respectively. ◊ Photos from randomly selected Wikidelphia pages were added (below on this Main Page) on September 16, 2026. The older two were moved to the bottom. ◊ The most recent historic preservation conversion of a page was Philadelphia Equity Alliance (Is-Past), done on September 15, 2026. ◊ The page most recently migrated to OtherNetworks is Groupsite.com, which was moved on September 15, 2026. ◊ Wikidelphia's newest (finished) page is Abundant Philly, completed on September 15, 2026. ◊ The latest full update of a page was done to The Culture Project International on September 14, 2026. ◊ Our newest stub is Abraham and Betty Offen Mikvah of Northeast Philadelphia, posted on September 10, 2026.

Wikidelphia has 2,568 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?"

Every Philadelphian should have a look at our updated and enlarged Community Portal, now featuring a new Business section !

TIP (#15 OF 19)

 Wikidelphia is mobile-optimized (mostly)! In late 2025, our provider updated our software, and a few of our features needed repair. BUT, there's a big benefit: If you rotate your phone (90°) to landscape mode, you can read everything! Text isn't tiny and un-zoomable! (Maybe you'll need to zoom a wee bit or Hide a sidebar.) The same phone-friendly "upgrade" has been discovered at our non-Philly sister site Other Networks.
 All of the Tips that appear in this section of the Main Page can be seen in one view on the All Tips page.

"We had a successful yard tree giveaway in a picture perfect Northwood Park this past weekend. Big thanks to our partners at TreePhilly and Friends of Northwood Park. Encouraging tree planting is just one part of our greening and beautification work in Frankford to help with air quality, stormwater management, and bringing nature home." ~Frankford Community Development Corporation
