'''Encyclopædia Dramatica''' (now at '''EncyclopediaDramatica.se''', formerly at '''EncyclopediaDramatica.[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http:/www.encyclopediadramatica.com/Main_Page com]''', '''EncyclopediaDramatica.[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http:/www.encyclopediadramatica.ch/Main_Page ch]''' or '''EncyclopediaDramatica.[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http:/www.encyclopediadramatica.es/Main_Page es]''') is a central catalog for organized reference pages about [[drama]], [[meme]]s, [[e-pal]]s and other interesting happenings on the [[Internets]], and is your tour guide for your journey across the Internets. ED is also the [[Final Solution|final]] arbiter of [[truth]] and human destiny, and can be used to settle any dispute, anywhere, [[evar]] and a [[wiki]]-[[encyclopedia]] that enjoying [[deep web]] [[Freedom|benefits]].  

Encyclopedia Dramatica was killed for [[at least 100|at least 100]] minutes in April of 2011. Now it's all better because the enemies of the lulz were stopped and the horrific [[Hambeast|manwhale]] [[Girlvinyl]] was destroyed.

The site's title was coined by [[user:33mhz|33mhz]] on [[jameth]]'s [http://www.jameth.us journal]. On the inaugural install and first operational night of ED, [[scarlet]] and [[jeremyjx]] were added as [[Special:Listadmins|moderators]], with others following. Once the site was posted on [[LNN]], its audience and content grew exponentially.

Short Answer: <s>'''YES'''</s> <big>'''NO!'''</big>

No, it is not. While there is a lot of material on ED that many find upsetting, the admins and users come from a variety of backgrounds. These people all understand [[satire]] and [[lulz]], even when the minority group they are a part of is targeted, they know it was not a serious attack on them, and counter lulz to lulz the lulz are always an option.

The wiki takes a no-holds barred, nothing is sacred approach to everyone and everything, we create highly critical articles about everything [[interbutts|internet]] related, so as to make readers [[lol]] at its cruel, unforgiving and occasionally revealing qualities. [[EDiots]] don't purposefully set out to offend people, we intend to make you laugh. We portray the ridiculousness of many ignorant views that infect the world in a [[lulzy]] manner, because when you laugh at the more harsher aspects of life, the world becomes a better place.

Failing to stop the monetary hæmorrhaging, ED then introduced [[ClickBangPop]]. CBP was an ad network that exclusively dealed in advertising on ED itself and offered more leniency in the types of advertising that would be allowed.

*[[MysteryBot]] doesn't exist here, so you can always help out by fixing broken redirects as they show up, or keeping out vandals and other enemies of the lulz.

*If you can't be bothered to do any of the above, at least pray to the ghost of '''[[OldDirtyBtard]]''' and thank him for his beyond-the-grave help in rescuing ED from the clutches of the prior fascist regime.
