Uncyclopedia, “the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”, is an English-language wiki featuring satirical articles. It is formatted as a parody of Wikipedia and aims ultimately to parody all encyclopedic subjects. It was founded in 2005 by Jonathan Huang and an unnamed counterpart as an independent website and was later transferred to Wikia. Originally an English-language wiki, the project currently spans over 103,000 pages of content in 52 languages.
Its name is a negation of the term “encyclopedia”; its hollowed potato logo, named Sophia after the Gnostic deity, is a spoof of Wikipedia’s globe logo. ![]()
There is a wealth of comedic material to be found, including major sections of UnNews, the Undictionary, and The (Oscar) Wilde Project. The overall loose spoof of Wikipedia is ongoing and uneven, as open contributor-generated content would be expected to deliver, but Uncyclopedia does provide hearty fun and tons of un.
And this just in to the news page: “15,000 atheists riot in London after a blank sheet of paper is found on a cartoonist’s desk.”
