Description

Uncyclopedia, "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).

Uncyclopedia is hosted by Wikia. As of April 2006, Uncyclopedia contains over 17,000 articles, making it the third largest Wikia-hosted wiki.

The goal of this project is to provide misinformation in a satirical and humourous way. While entries tended to be short and random in its infancy, the current trend at Uncyclopedia is to make all entries very developed and polished, including pictures, and even sound bites. Random humor is also on the wane, with preferred articles containing a novel or subtle blurring of the truth.
