Liberapedia is a website that was created in response to Conservapedia. It modestly claims to be "Saving the World from Neoconservative Fascist Hatemongering Racists".

However its creator stated that it was created to parody Conservapedia and advises that: "most articles should take stereotypical liberal views and distort them to the extreme” The creator of Liberapedia, WillH has left the site leaving no active bureaucrats. The remaining sysops struggled to handle the incoming spam, and later moved to a new site hosted at the Wikia Wiki farm, under the leadership of a new "founder", Ajuk. See Old Liberapedia for more information.

Unfortunately no one bought up the URL of Old Liberapedia. For a while, search engines ranked the old site higher than the new one, leading to confusion and possible loss of traffic and users. The old domain name now hosts a placeholder site with advertisements. This situation is gradually improving as search engines rank the placeholder lower than new Liberapedia.

Liberapedia includes serious articles as well as parodies, and there is sometimes no clear distinction between the two. Although its stated goal is to be a parody encyclopaedia, the serious content contradicts this.
