RationalWikiWikiWiki

RationalWikiWikiWiki refers to various attempts by RationalWiki or RationalWikiWiki members to set up a wiki monitoring the goings-on at RW and/or RWW; and/or to supplant one or both of those two wikis.

Wikis

Wikidot Rationalwikiwikiwiki

The Wikidot Rationalwikiwikiwiki was active from 16th April to 17th April 2008, edited exclusively by "rwwadmin" (no relation to RWW's Admin), and Icewedge.

Ratwikiwikiwiki

Ratwikiwikiwiki dates from around the same period, and briefly involved Bohdan, AKjeldsen and Human. It is completely devoid of content, but does have a dancing banana where a brain would usually be found.

Tisane iteration

The Tisane iteration of RationalWikiWikiWiki was launched on 1 September and died on 11 September 2012, after an essay concerning sex-related public policy was reported to the site's webhost by a disgruntled user, resulting in an "adult content" terms of service violation notice that forced the site to either give up its mission of uncensored free exchange of ideas or shut down. The RWWW site owner, noting that the RW and RWW users had felt compelled to resort to censorship rather than engaging in full, free and open debate on the converted subjects either on their own site or on any other site, declared victory in light of the fact that the RW and RWWians had essentially conceded those arguments by refusing to enter into discussion.

Other

There have been many other RationalWikiWikiWikis over the years, none of which have fared well. Their rises and falls have been documented at RationalWikiWikiWikisWiki. There is also a mock RationalWikiWikiWiki at http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Fun:RationalWikiWikiWiki .
