'''Uncyclopedia''' (or '''Uncyclopædia'''), "the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," is a parody of [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], though Uncyclopedia claims the reverse (and correctly claims that Wikipedia claims the reverse, and vice versa, ad infinitum . . . ).
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.

As of February 2013, Uncyclopedia contains over 29,000 articles, making it the third largest Wikia-hosted wiki. 


===Current Administration===
Uncyclopedia was transferred to Wikia on May 26, 2005.  Although initially promising to keep the 'uncyclopedia.org' domain and not host ads, Wikia moved the wiki to 'uncyclopedia.wikia.com' on October 23, 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 to establish an independently-hosted site in 2013.
