'''Encyclopedia Dramatica''', often abbreviated as '''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 former owner Sherrod DeGrippo on December 10, 2004, who went by the alias "Girlvinyl".

THIS WAS THE FÆTURED ARTICLE FOR SEPTEMBER 2021!

Content Warning!
The following work contains content and material that some may find shocking. Reader discretion is advised.

In lulz we trust

Encyclopedia Dramatica, often abbreviated as 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 former owner Sherrod DeGrippo on December 10, 2004, who went by the alias "Girlvinyl". The wiki is mostly a parody of Wikipedia, containing much more offensive/vulgar content; however, much of the offensive content is solely for "the lulz."[1]

The wiki hosts many infamous shock pages including Offended, 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 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.

After that, the site moved domain extensions plenty of times from .rs to .se to .ch, and many others, usually because of the owners either being arrested or banned for different reasons.

The homepage of encyclopediadramatica.com.

For a while, there were two sites for Encyclopedia Dramatica, which were created by Jacob Stellmach[2](dubbed Ædiot), and were the main domains for a while. However, after Jacob attempted to sell the site off to dark net users, the rest of the ED staff forked the wiki and moved the domain to where it currently is at encyclopediadramatica.online.[3] The .wiki domain, however, was still the more popular domain as Google put that site first and Wikipedia does not list .online. Later on, however, .wiki shut down which signified even more that .online was the true æ.
