The wiki [[hosts]] many 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 almost every page. The reason why æ is used as its mascot is that, according to the site, it's "confusing and mysterious like ED itself." Encyclopedia Dramatica has moved domains many times during its life. It was established in December 2004 at ''encyclopediadramatica.com'' and was originally meant to document dramatic happenings on [[Wikipedia:LiveJournal|LiveJournal]], but instead quickly became associated with [[4chan]] and Anonymous. In 2011, the site moved to a safe-for-work website called "OhInternet", which also closed the same year. | The wiki [[hosts]] many infamous [[shock site|shock pages]] including [[Offended]], [[The Pain Series|Kittens, and Puppies]], and [[Reporting Un-Islamic Content]].

*'''Jose Antonio Cossio, JR. (A.K.A Umkemesik): 2020-2023''' - Took away the site from Ædiot after the stuff got leaked, and created a new ED, which took him 12 hours compared to the 3-4 months it took Ædiot.

However, his efforts to convince the SysOp to abandon the original ED in favor of his version, coupled with his endless requests for forum backups, his own past history of edit wars and shamelessly e-begging to keep his copy of ED running as a 16-year-old, resulted in him being banned and removed out of the wiki. The .win domain was seized by [[wikipedia:Cloudflare|Cloudflare]] shortly after. | ||
*'''Ryan Brewer: 2024''' - Owner of splint ED (edramatica.com, dramatica.wtf, .wtf, and .gay domain). The edramatica.com domain was later terminated by [[wikipedia:easyDNS|easyDNS]] for abuse, meanwhile the dramatica.wtf domain lasted only for under 24 hours. The edramatica.com domain was later reinstated. | |||
