Wipipedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wipipedia is a Web-based free-content encyclopedia about the fetish and BDSM lifestyle. It is "maintained by the fetish community for the fetish community," and is a wiki, written collaboratively by volunteers: anyone with a web browser and an Internet connection can create and edit articles, although editors must be logged in (anonymous edits are not allowed). The name derives from a portmanteau of "whip" and "Wikipedia". The site was begun in March 2005 by the creators of the London Fetish Scene website. The Wipipedia is also mirrored by Informed Consent, the United Kingdom's largest BDSM website, where it is known as the Encyclopervia.
The Wipipedia has over 900 articles; it also includes advice, stories, and descriptions of real-life experiences by Wipipedians. The Wipipedia attracts about 10,000 page views per day.
Much of the content of the Wipipedia has been sourced from the Wikipedia, but the volume of original material is increasing, and some original Wipipedia material has been copied to Wikipedia. For readers interested in finding out more about the fetish BDSM lifestyle, it has the advantage over the Wikipedia in that offers a well structured and maintained system of categorisation and cross reference tailored to BDSM.[citation needed] Where reference is made to more general topics, it links directly back to the Wikipedia.
