{{tag|FoundedIn2004|Founded in 2004}}, '''Encyclopedia Dramatica, ''in lulz we trust''''' ('''ED''') was a free-form vibrant wiki site dedicated to collecting all manner of internet {{tag|Culture|sub-culture}}, including illustrations, descriptions and histories, especially as related to trolling, troll activities, and internet drama.  Unlike many mainstream wikis such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], ED was intentionally indecent, obtuse, and inaccurate - the actual information related to a situation would come with further research, not by simply reading the related ED article.  Constantly on the edge of collapse in later years, ED eventually went under on 14 April 2011, and moved to '[[Oh Internet]]', a more mainstream and sanitized version of the site, to great protest.

While the mission and writing of ED might be considered offensive and inaccurate, the contents of the site capture in great detail the memes, lore and examples of years of trolling culture and activity, representing a large back catalog of the dark underside of the internet.
