"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?"

| Wikidelphia is now mobile-optimized (mostly)! Our provider updated our software, and now a few of our features need 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 beyond-Philly sister site Other Networks. |

TIP (#14 OF 15)
Beginning in February 2026, we start migrating non-local pages to our excellent sister site, OtherNetworks.org. Our staff editor has been wanting to do it for a long time, and recently our consultant (Grok AI) validated the idea: Wikidelphia should cover Philadelphia, especially since we have the OtherNetworks site, where non-local pages would fit very well. So, more and more pages will be marked with the Category Is-Marked For Migration To OtherNetworks, and more and more pages will actually be moved there. Wikidelphia will become more and more focused on Philly.
Note: Our X account has already been Philly-centric since its beginning.
