RationalWiki started in [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|May 2007]], after a group of [[editor]]s at [[Conservapedia]] were banned over [[:Category:Ideology|ideological]] differences with the authorities there. Their edits had consisted mostly of debating on [[talk page]]s, attempting to counteract what they perceived to be overwhelming anti-scientific and [[:Category:Wikis with a strong viewpoint|far-right]] political biases. Although the site was called RationalWiki to highlight the apparent pro-scientific [[:Category:Earth|worldview]] of the [[founder]]s, the content was largely weighted to the perceived lunacy of events at Conservapedia. As of January 2014, voting was ongoing concerning whether to expand RationalWiki's mission. It appeared unlikely that RationalWiki was going to explicitly embrace the idea of becoming a general encyclopaedia.<ref>[[RationalWiki:Forum:Expanding RW's mission#Less talking, more voting!|Forum: Expanding RW's mission – Less talking, more voting!]]; ''RationalWiki.org''; accessed: 2018-08-01</ref> | RationalWiki started in [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|May 2007]], after a group of [[editor]]s at [[Conservapedia]] were banned over [[:Category:Ideology|ideological]] differences with the authorities there.
