==Description==
'''Wipipedia''' is a web-based free-content {{tag|Encyclopedia|encyclopaedia}} about the {{tag|fetish}} and {{tag|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 and have a registered e-mail address (anonymous edits are not allowed).  It helps to provide an {{tag|education}} to those new to the lifestyle, or simply wanting to know more about it, and applies equally to {{tag|men}} and {{tag|women}} of all sexualities.
