Leftypedia is an online collaborative encyclopedia that inspired the creation of ProleWiki. Unlike ProleWiki, Leftypedia aims to be a big tent organisation, containing views from all sections of "leftism", whether Marxist or not.
History
Leftypedia originated in 2019 with the purpose of safeguarding content from Marxistpedia following its shutdown. Initially hosted at the leftypedia.org domain, the site was taken down in July 2022. However, it was subsequently revived under the wiki.leftypol.org domain later that year, where it remains active as of 2024.[1]

Between February and August 2023, administrator Harrystein banned several alt accounts of Wisconcom.[2]
Comparison to ProleWiki
The primary difference between ProleWiki and Leftypedia is that Leftypedia seeks to be a big tent, "catch-all leftism" encyclopedia, whereas ProleWiki expressly follows the line of scientific socialism and Marxism-Leninism.[3] Without an emphasis on scientific socialism, one runs the risk of supporting imperialist propaganda against socialist states, due to allowing multiple tendencies definitions' of imperialism which may contradict one another. This was attempted by ProleWiki with other Marxist currents in its very early days, and ultimately led to endless debates in private internal chats that negatively impacted the output of content on pages.
Another difference is that Leftypedia is only available in English while ProleWiki has instances in several other languages in the spirit of proletarian internationalism.
