Description
Wipipedia is a Web-based free-content encyclopaedia about the fetish and BDSM lifestyle. It is "maintained by the fetish community for the fetish community," and is a wiki, written collaboratively by volunteers: anyone can create and edit articles about any area that they feel they have knowledge about or a valid contribution to make, although editors must be logged in (anonymous edits are not allowed). It helps to provide an education to those new to the lifestyle, or simply wanting to know more about it, and applies equally to men and women.
Topics include those on Art and literature, equipment, Law, safety, Alternative lifestyle and 'how-to' guides.
The site was begun in March 2005 by the creators of the London Fetish Scene website. Although hosted in England and written in English (not American) it strives to cover topics around the world. The name derives from a portmanteau of "whip" and "Wikipedia". The Wipipedia is published under the GNU Free Documentation License also mirrored by the (non-wiki) Informed Consent website, where it has been called the 'Encyclopervia' and is currently called their 'Dictionary'.
The Wipipedia has over 1200 articles; it also includes advice, stories, and descriptions of real-life experiences by Wipipedians. The Wipipedia attracts about 10,000 page views per day. It attracts visitors from around the globe and is quoted or referenced by other web sites.
Where reference is made to more general topics in Wipipedia, it often links to topics in Wikipedia or specialist wikis. For readers interested in finding out about the fetish / BDSM lifestyle, Wipipedia is a good source of information, willingly linking elsewhere when needed.
Wipipedia does point out that some of the practises described are dangerous.
