The site was founded by a disgruntled ex-RationalWiki user who was banned from the site after posting an essay questioning the illegal status of child-adult sex. It was briefly shut down about two weeks after its founding when the same essay was reported to the site's webhost. The site owner chose to move the site to a new webhost rather then delete the essay, and the site was resurrected a few days later. The site went to an "anything-goes free-for-all" format of users importing whatever content they wanted from RationalWiki, RationalWikiWiki, [[NewgonWiki]], [[BoyWiki]], [[Uncyclopedia]], [[Wikipedia]], and other sites.

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.
