I'm going to tell you now, when this comes up on VFD (and it will) I will vote against. I think it should get special exeption on the grounds of "not taking ourselves too seriously". Seriously, go and read their version of ''you have two cows'' and ''Adolf Hitler''. ] 15:56, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

We only roast the ones we love. Misplaced Pages is as useful as Uncyclopedia is hilarious. And Misplaced Pages is very useful. When I need a resource, I use Misplaced Pages, but when I want satire, parody, or whatever type of humor the article is, I use Uncyclopedia. --] 17:41, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

Just discovered Uncyclopedia - great site, some excellent spoofs. Kinda cool that WP has been around enough to get the honour of a spoof, and even cooler to see it done well. The Misplaced Pages page in particular finds that great spot between truth and absurdity. ] ] 10:53, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC) |

One of the best sentences on uncyclopedia: "Creationism - The idea that God was so bored out of his mind he spent 6 days creating everything on our planet, and for good measure put in several jokes to fool us into believing it must have taken him much longer." |

== Keep or remove mirror.uncyc.org? == |
|
I, for one, would be bitterly disappointed if any Wikipedian gets even slightly upset over Uncyclopedia (UP). If UP upsets you, then, frankly, you really need to lighten up. I think the UP is pricelessly funny, very clever and is in all ways a tribute to the success of Misplaced Pages. I also will be '''extremely''' annoyed if anyone tries to list this page for VFD. I know that some of UP's founders frequent this discussion page, and I wanted (as someone who was around in the founding days of Misplaced Pages) to express my huge respect for what you've put together. ] 00:54, August 6, 2005 (UTC) |

The "mirror site" has no reliable sources pointing towards it, and I think it fails ]. ] (]) 13:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC) |

Dear lord, the seriousness of this page and the lengthy research is by far as funny as uncyc :-P --] 02:09, 11 August 2005 (UTC) |

:The mirror site was created by Carlb in I think 2006 when there were discussions on Uncyclopedia about setting up elsewhere outside Wikia/Fandom. I would say it is of historical reference. --] (]) 08:09, 26 May 2021 (UTC) |

== Language sections == |

---- |
|
|
I've moved this bit out of the main article as it is POV and possibly off-topic: |
|
|
:On August 13th, 2005, ] filed a DMCA request to Uncyclopedia to remove possibly infringing images and the ED logo, used on outbound links to ED. Legal matters are still being pursued. |
|
|
There are no images alleged to be copied other than the <font size=+1>æ</font> ligature (which only appears in a template promoting ED by linking there from related articles in Uncyclo's main article space - now disabled, evidently) and the one bit of identifying info linking Sherrod DeGrippo (girlvinyl) to ED. See . Verifiability is an issue here given that neither site constitutes a credibly neutral source, even were this nonsense in any way encyclopædaic. --] 08:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC) |

Possibly connected to this - Uncyclopedia seems to be down (21.12 British Summer Time) |
|
|
|
:Uncyclopedia.info is the site hosted by CarlB. It contains the English "mirror site" which serves as an archive only. Much of the humor contained in those pages is completely outdated and has been removed on the other two updated sites, which are uncyclopedia.com and en.uncyclopedia.co. Uncyclopedia.org was updated to serve as a page to give the reader more information about both sites and visit either one without having to type a new URL. ] (]) 17:43, 9 November 2022 (UTC) |

== how many sites does this article cover == |

It is not clear which one, or which ones, the article text talks about. |
|
|
|
|
|
For instance, the lead claim "The English version has approximately 37,000 pages of content, second only to the Portuguese," is that about <nowiki>en.uncyclopedia.co</nowiki> or <nowiki>uncyclopedia.com</nowiki>? |

:Both 'co' and 'com' uncyclopedias are over 37,000 articles. So the line could be changed to say both versions are in a similar position on article count. --] (]) 23:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC) |
