Undid revision 185399 by Sweetie Belle (talk) I am trying to preserve neutrality. You are extremely ignorant of the facts here
(what's unfair is that you are antagonizing uncyclomedians just because they posted scat porn/wrote articles about you.)

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 September 2014, Uncyclopedia contains over 30,000 articles, making it the third largest Wikia-hosted wiki. 


In January 2013 the majority of the community left Wikia and [http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Press_Release_-_move_from_Wikia moved it to independent hosting]. Wikia and a few users that stayed behind continue to maintain their version of the site at its own URL as a direct competitor.
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, amid mixed reactions from the community. Further controversy occurred in 2012, as Wikia censored NSFW images and placed a content warning on the site that anonymous users would see before they could access pages; these were major factors in the decision of a sizable number of users to leave to establish an independently-hosted site in 2013 (see [[#Independent Fork]]), but were not of concern to the remainder of the community.


The community at [[Absurdopedia]], the Russian-language Uncyclopedia, also moved from Wikia in October 2010.
The wiki however does not use the standard Wikia skin and does not have Wikia ads. The content warning has also been removed.

==Uncyclopedia blocking policy==
A [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Ban_Policy wide range of offences] can lead to a block, frequently with a humiliating reason given.  Administrator, Mordillo stated that their policy is, ''"We have the 'piss off the admins and they ban you rule'"'' [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Adam_and_Eve#And_since_you_both_posted_all_over_the_place_I'll_post_my_remark_here].  It's sometimes hard to tell when Uncyclopedians are serious and when they are joking.  They used to block users (as recently as April-May 2008) with the comment, ''"Your penis is too small."'' or ''"Your penis is too small.  Come back when you reach puberty."''  It can be difficult to tell if blocks are reasonable as the content that leads to a block is frequently deleted.  They also have a funny and humiliating [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Blockedtext ban message].

As of February 2013, Uncyclopedia contains over 29,000 articles, making it the third largest Wikia-hosted wiki. 
In January 2013 a large portion of the community left Wikia and [http://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Uncyclopedia:Press_Release_-_move_from_Wikia moved it to independent hosting]. The remaining portion of the community that stayed behind continue to maintain their version of the site at its own URL, many citing disagreements with the principles of the forked community.
 
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.
 
The wiki however does not use the standard Wikia skin and does not have Wikia ads.
