'''Encyclopedia Dramatica''', often abbreviated '''ED''' or '''æ''', is a website consisting of a satirical MediaWiki based wiki and a XenForo based discussion forum. It was created by the website's owner Sherrod DeGrippo on December 10, 2004. The wiki is a parody of ''Wikipedia'', containing much more harassment and offensive/vulgar content; however, much of the offensive content is done solely for "the [https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/lulz lulz]."<ref>https://www.laweekly.com/news/my-date-with-anonymous-a-rare-interview-with-the-elusive-internet-troublemakers-2158139</ref>

The wiki contains five infamous [[shock site|shock pages]] including [[Offended]], [[The Pain Series|Kittens, and Puppies]], and [[Reporting Un-Islamic Content]]. Many articles on this wiki contain shock images such as [[Goatse]], [[Blue Waffle]], and [[Lemon Party]] among many others, as well as numerous other gruesome images. Encyclopedia Dramatica is known for having something vulgar/disturbing on every single page. The reason why æ is used as its mascot is because, according to the site, it's "confusing and mysterious like ED itself".

Encyclopedia Dramatica has moved domains many times during its life. It was originally established in December 2004 at ''encyclopediadramatica.com'' and was originally meant to document [[Wikipedia:LiveJournal|LiveJournal]] drama. In 2011, the site moved to a safe-for-work website called ''OhInternet'', which also closed the same year.

*'''Seebeen: 2017-2019''' - Took over for Zaiger after he turned out to be a massive junkie. Already had a bad reputation beforehand. As in, he would enforce arbitrary rules. Assured ED that he was an amazing tech wizard; but, when the site eventually crashed, it turned out he never had a single backup, and so he just disappeared.

*'''Conrad Rockenhaus: 2019-2020''' - Took over for Seebeen who was formerly known to be insane, and was generally hated by the rest of ED. He Was in charge for a while but disappeared for a while. After he got hit by a car, he later came back for a while, but then disappeared again after he went to jail. The site would eventually crash along with the forum.

Later tried to sell ED to his dark web friends, and was quickly booked. He also talks to an imaginary 6yr old girl, can't drive, and was grooming 16-year-old boys to be his husband.
