'''Encyclopedia Dramatica''''s purpose is to provide a central catalog for the e-public to view {{tag|parody}} and {{tag|satire}} of drama, memes, e-pals, and other interesting happenings on the internets.  Its goal is to provide comprehensive, reference-style parody, to poke {{tag|fun}} at everyone and everything on the internet.

{{tag|Founded in 2004|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.

ED uses its own customized version of MediaWiki, [https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&meta=siteinfo MediaWiki 1.0.2-ED], with [https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=extensions 15 extensions].  [[noindex]] and [[nofollow]] are applied to {{Mw|Manual:Special pages|special pages}} and to {{Mw|Help:History|history pages}}, but not to [[edit]] pages or individual [[diff]]s.  As a result, old revisions will sometimes appear in search engine results.
