Uncyclopedia ("the content-free encyclopedia") is a satirical website that parodies Wikipedia. Originally founded in 2005 as an English-language wiki, the project currently spans over 75 languages. The English version has approximately 30,000 pages of content, second only to the Portuguese.
Various styles of humor and cursing are used as a vehicle for parody, from earnest attempts at sophisticated satire to straightforward uses of sarcasm, along with structured in-jokes and frequent non-sequiturs. Like Wikipedia, Uncyclopedia has guidelines regarding what is and is not acceptable content, and these guidelines have become progressively stricter as the site expands over time. The site has garnered media attention for its articles on people and places.
Its logo, a hollow potato, serves as a parody of Wikipedia's globe logo.
Most of the articles on Uncyclopedia contain templates providing a link to the corresponding Wikipedia article. It generally uses the quotes "For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia think they have an article about (a link to the article)."
