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

◊ 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.

◊ The latest full update of a page was done to The Culture Project International on September 14, 2026.
◊ On September 10, 2026, we scheduled "Random H.R. Page on O.N." X posts (or tweets) for Humanity Rising episodes #356 and #1046. The posts will appear on September 14 and 16, respectively.
◊ Our newest stub is Abraham and Betty Offen Mikvah of Northeast Philadelphia, posted on September 10, 2026.
◊ Photos from randomly selected Wikidelphia pages were added (below on this Main Page) on September 9, 2026. The older two were moved to the bottom.

Wikidelphia has 2,567 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 (#13 OF 19)

 One way we find ideas for new pages is to check local news outlets. Over the years we've put together an interesting collection of local sources.
All of the Tips that appear in this section of the Main Page can be seen in one view on the All Tips page.

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
