Wikipedia turns 25 today, and the celebration isn't just nostalgia: it's a reminder that collective knowledge works when people collaborate. Remember the first time you looked something up on Wikipedia and found exactly what you needed? That's the result of millions of people working together.

25 years of shared knowledge

Twenty-five years ago a simple idea was born: wisdom is everywhere, and technology should help more people find it. Today Wikipedia brings together more than 66 million articles in over 340 languages, and it's still one of the first places you go when you want to learn quickly.

It's not magic; it's community: volunteers who research, write, fix, and debate to keep information as accurate as possible. How many times have you read an article and then checked the references section? That's where the project's muscle lives.

Perplexity's gift: 2,500 seats for editors

To celebrate the anniversary, Perplexity is offering to share with Wikipedia editors. It's a concrete gesture: tools that can speed up research and help with verification while editors do what they do best.
