Uncyclomedia Commons uses the same uncyclo-technology as [[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia|Uncyclopedia]], and thus everyone can [[edit]] it easily and without advanced technical skills or opposable thumbs directly in the web browser. Unlike media files uploaded on other projects, files uploaded to Uncyclomedia Commons can be embedded on pages of all Uncyclomedia Foundation projects without the need to separately upload them there. | Uncyclomedia Commons uses the same uncyclo-technology as [[Uncyclopedia:Uncyclopedia|Uncyclopedia]], and thus everyone can [[edit]] it easily and without advanced technical skills or opposable thumbs directly in the web browser.
