"Debatepedia is a wiki encyclopedia of pro and con arguments and quotations in important public debates from around the world. It is considered 'the Wikipedia of debate', helping the world centralize arguments and quotations found in millions of different articles, essays, and books, into a single encyclopedia, so that citizens can better understand important public debates and make informed choices."

A project of the 501c3 non-profit International Debate Education Association (IDEA), Debatepedia utilizes the same wiki technology powering Wikipedia to centralize arguments and quotes found in editorials, op-eds, political statements, and books, into comprehensive pro/con articles. This helps citizens and decision-makers better deliberate on the world's most important questions. Debatepedia is endorsed by the National Forensic League.

The Debatepedia includes public debates in every category, including politics, economics, morality, parenting, etc.
