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. | The goal of this project is to provide misinformation in a {{tag|Satire|satirical}} and {{tag|Humor|humourous}} way.

Although initially promising to keep the <tt>uncyclopedia.org</tt> domain and not host ads, Wikia subsequently failed to keep their prior promise and moved the [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] to <tt>uncyclopedia.wikia.com</tt> on 23 October 2008, despite protests from the community. Further problems occurred in 2012, as Wikia censored images and placed disclaimers on the site; these were major factors in the decision of the majority of users to leave and establish an independently-hosted site in 2013. | ||
