How many articles and contributors does EverybodyWiki have?
Updated
As of the figures shown on EverybodyWiki's own "List of EverybodyWikis" page, the site reports 639,981 articles and 1,055 active contributors. These are self-reported counts displayed on the wiki's main navigation page, so they reflect the state at the time that page was last updated rather than a live, independently audited total.
The numbers at a glance
| Metric | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Articles in the wiki | 639,981 |
| Active contributors | 1,055 |
Both figures appear together in the "Now" section of the page, alongside an invitation to "join the 1,055 active contributors and create your article among 639,981 other articles in this wiki."
What these numbers actually tell you
- Scale of content: Nearly 640,000 articles places EverybodyWiki well beyond a small personal wiki, but the total includes biographies, company pages, video game and film articles, and other user-created entries — not just encyclopedia-style topics.
- Active contributors: The 1,055 figure refers to active contributors, not total registered accounts. The page separately notes that anyone can register and start contributing, so the registered base is likely larger.
- Growth is ongoing: The page lists recent articles (for example, "Umanari," "Furlong Theater," "Tum Mere Ho (2026 film)") and a news item dated 2025-06-16, indicating the wiki continues to receive new entries.
Why the counts differ from Wikipedia-style metrics
EverybodyWiki describes itself as an inclusionist online encyclopedia that "tries to save articles which are currently marked for deletion on Wikipedia." Because an article on EverybodyWiki "does not need any requirements like to meet any standards of notability, arbitrary requirements, or be famous to be preserved," the article count grows through a different bar for inclusion than Wikipedia uses. That means the 639,981 figure measures pages created under a much looser standard, and the contributor count reflects a community built around that same open policy.
Practical takeaways
- If you want a rough sense of the site's size and activity, 639,981 articles and 1,055 active contributors are the numbers to cite — with the caveat that they are self-reported.
- If you plan to contribute, note that the page states you can "edit almost every page by Creating an account and confirming your email," and a 2025-06-16 news item says email confirmation is now required to edit.
- If you are comparing platforms, treat these counts as a measure of volume under an inclusionist policy, not as a measure of editorial review or notability screening.
