Pipedia has now '''18,142''' pages, in all, including talk pages, redirects, etc. These are distributed in '''1,673 content pages''' and '''13,718''' uploaded files, including photos, videos and pdfs (mostly pipe photos). There is much to be explored, we hope it will be a pleasurable journey. | |||
We are continually finding examples of pipes with very little or no information as to their origin. Please check [[:Category:Need Information|'''Need Information''']] to see the list of these articles. Perhaps you can help us expand Pipedia's ever growing knowledge base. | |||
