Description

Uncyclopedia (or Uncyclopædia), "the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," is a parody of Wikipedia, though Uncyclopedia claims the reverse (and correctly claims that Wikipedia claims the reverse, and vice versa ad infinitum).

The English-language version of Uncyclopedia is hosted by Wikia. As of April 2006, Uncyclopedia contains over 21,000 articles, making it the third largest Wikia-hosted wiki.

Uncyclopedia was transferred to Wikia on May 26, 2005. Although initially promising to keep the uncyclopedia.org domain and not host ads, Wikia moved the wiki to uncyclopedia.wikia.com on October 23, 2008, despite protests from the community. The wiki however does not use the standard Wikia skin and does not have Wikia ads. [1]

The goal of this project is to provide misinformation in a satirical and humourous way. Entries tended to be short and random in its infancy. The current partially successful trend at Uncyclopedia is to make all entries very developed and polished. This includes pictures, and even sound bites. Random humor is also on the wane, with preferred articles containing a novel or subtle blurring of the truth. Users wanting to write random humour may try Illogicopedia instead.

Uncyclopedia blocking policy

A wide range of offences can lead to a block, frequently with a humiliating reason given. Administrator, Mordillo stated that their policy is, “We have the "piss of the admins and they ban you rule". [2] It’s sometimes hard to tell when Uncyclopedians are serious and when they are joking. They used to block users (as recently as April-May 2008) with the comment, "Your penis is too small." or "Your penis is too small. Come back when you reach puberty." It’s impossible to tell if blocks are reasonable as the content that leads to a block is frequently deleted. They also have a funny and humiliating ban message.

Uncyclopedia attracts irresponsible users. There are regularly in the region of 10 to 15 blocks a day and most are probably necessary. Hopefully the administrators are more responsible.

Uncyclopedia – potatoes anyone?

Uncyclopedia – or Uncyclopaedia, or if you are really posh, Uncyclopædia – the content-free encyclopedia — is a serious font of encyclopaedic knowledge crazy, bonkers, humourous parody of Wikipedia, 'that anyone can edit'; though Uncyclopedia claims the reverse (noun) (and correctly claims that Wikipedia claims the reverse, and vice versa, ad infinitum, digitus rectus insertum, et cetera, et cetera . . . ).

Founded as an English language wiki site on 5 January 2005 by Jonathan Huang (also known as Chronarion) and 'Stillwaters', and initially independently hosted, Uncyclopedia has expanded to over eighty (80) different language versions. After the the original wiki sites outgrew their independent hosting, on 26 May 2005, Angela Beesley, Vice President of Wikia, Inc., announced that Wikia would host Uncyclopedia, and that the site's license and domain name would remain unchanged; on 10 July 2006, Huang transferred the Uncyclopedia.org domain rights to Wikia, Inc. Many other language versions also moved to Wikia, however, this subsequently proved to be a mistake, as Wikia, Inc. totally failed to respect (verb) the terms of the specific Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 3.0 license (by generating revenue from the adverts that were displayed on the Wikia-hosted Uncyclopaedia wiki sites). As more language versions were subsequently added to the Uncyclopedia fold, many wisely chose to avoid Wikia, and used an independent host. Relations between Uncyclopedia wiki sites and Wikia, Inc. continued to worsen over time (as did many other wiki sites hosted on Wikia), and the end result was that all Uncyclopedia wikis were forced off Wikia (then rebranded to Fandom) in late 2019, which Wikia / Fandom conveniently 'claimed' was due to censorship!

Today, no Uncyclopedia wiki sites survive on Wikia / Fandom; many of the different language versions are now 'officially' hosted by (or directly affiliated with) the Uncyclomedia Foundation (at *.Uncyclomedia.org, and its unofficial but closely related *.Uncyclopedia.co). Other Uncyclopedia wiki sites have chosen an alternative wiki farm as their host (including Miraheze), and a small number have chosen a totally independent host.
