'''[[:Category:Uncyclopedia|Uncyclopedia]]''' – or '''Uncyclopaedia''', or if you are really posh, '''Uncyclopædia''' – ''the content-free [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]]'' — is a <s>serious font of encyclopaedic [[:Category:Knowledge|knowledge]]</s> crazy, bonkers, [[:Category:Humor|humourous]] [[:Category:Parody|parody]] of [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], 'that anyone can edit'; though [[Uncyclopedia]] claims the reverse (and correctly claims that Wikipedia claims the reverse, and vice versa, ad infinitum, rectus insertum, etcetera, etcetera . . . ).

Founded as an English language wiki site on 5 January [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]] by [[Jonathan Huang]] and 'Stillwaters', and initially [[:Category:Independent|independently]] hosted, Uncyclopedia has expanded to over 80 different [[:Category:Wiki Language|language]] versions.  After the the original wiki sites outgrew their independent hosting, they moved to [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], however, this subsequently proved to be a mistake, as Wikia totally failed to respect the terms of the specific [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike 3.0 license]] (by generating revenue from the [[:Category:Advertising|adverts]] that were displayed on the Wikia-hosted Uncyclopedias).  As more language versions were subsequently added to the Uncyclopedia fold, many wisely chose to avoid Wikia, and used an independent host.  Relations between Uncyclopedia wiki sites and Wikia continued to worsen over time (as did many other wiki sites hosted on Wikia), and the end result was that all Uncyclopedia wikis [[:Category:Ex-Wikia|were forced off Wikia]], which Wikia conveniently 'claimed' was [[:Category:Ex-Wikia due to censorship|due to censorship]]!

Today, no Uncyclopedia wiki sites survive on Wikia; many of the different language versions are now 'officially' hosted by (or directly affiliated with) the {{tag|Uncyclomedia Foundation}} (at <tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>.Uncyclomedia.org</tt>, and its unofficial but closely related <tt><nowiki>*</nowiki>.Uncyclopedia.co</tt>).  Other Uncyclopedia sites have chosen a different [[wiki farm]] as their host (including [[:Category:Miraheze| Miraheze]]), and a small number have chosen a totally independent host.
