'''RationalWikiWikiWiki''' (or '''RWWW''') sought to critique and mock [[RationalWiki]] (RW) and [[RationalWikiWiki]] (RWW) and to host discussions deemed too controversial for those sites. Founded on 1 September 2012, it was shut down on 11 September 2012 due to a warning from the site's Provo, Utah-based webhost (responding to a tip provided by a RWW user) that "adult content," such as an essay questioning the logic behind laws establishing the current age of sexual consent, would not be tolerated. This was deemed to require abandoning the site's goal because the terms of service specified prohibited content in terms so nebulous as to be impossible to know whether one was in violation or not, if even political expression were to be declared too racy.[http://nathania.org/wiki/Public:Adult_content]

Some RWW users had also criticized the RWWW site owner for using a CC-by-SA-licensed image from their site without their permission and for giving the site a name that was a derivative of RationalWikiWiki's. They complained that this was inappropriate since the site was used for the voicing of opinions not representative of the views of RWW editors. The irony of a site that was itself partly a derivative of RationalWiki, and which devoted itself to critiquing and mocking that wiki, complaining about another site doing the same to it, seemed to escape them, as did the fact that the creation of an independent wiki for the purpose of ''agreeing'' with RWW would be pointless. The necessity of a fork arises when there are irreconcilable disagreements about site policy or content, and someone wants to break free of the restrictions imposed by those in control of a wiki by establishing a new wiki.

RationalWikiWikiWiki, or RWWW, sought to critique and mock RationalWiki (RW) and RationalWikiWiki (RWW), and to host information and discussions apparently banned from those sites. It is one of a series of RationalWikiWikiWikis that have been set up over the years.

The site was founded by a RationalWiki user, Tisane, also known as Leucosticte, who was blocked from RationalWiki after creating a firestorm of angry protest over an essay questioning the illegal status of child-adult sex. RWWW remained, for a time, the main archive of content from RationalWikiWiki. On 19 June 2014, the site was taken down "permanently."

Following a hard drive crash, it was discovered that the only backups of the site had been corrupted. Even these backups, however, were lost in an 18 July 2018 burglary.[1]
