About ED
Fashioned in the spirit of Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary, Encyclopedia Dramatica's purpose is to provide a central catalog for the e-public to view parody and satire of drama, memes, e-pals, and other interesting happenings on the Internets. Our goal is to provide comprehensive, reference-style parody, to poke fun at everyone and everything. You can read more about the origin of Encyclopedia Dramatica in our About section.
Policy
Before making any contributions, be sure you have read over all of our policies. We will not hesitate to revert any idiotic edits and call you out for your stupidity.
Users
Anyone with a web browser is welcome to participate, as long as you read and agree to the General disclaimer. You are required to create an email-confirmed account to edit articles (no anonymous editing allowed). Other than that, there are no requirements. Users of all races, sizes, ages, and creeds are welcome, but are all subject to merciless satire at their expense.
Ways to Help
If you have free time and would like to help out, here's a list of acceptable ways that you can:
- SysOp or EDitor? Stop being a lazy fucker and do your job. Check the SysOp's Tasks.
- Check The Bad Articles Portal and help turn around potential new articles that need cleaned up or expanded. PROTIP: Throwing a death notice on a BNA instead of turning the article around is NOT helping.
- Got a lulzworthy subject you feel needs to be written about? Submit it to the Needed/Proposed page and someone might pick it up. Make sure you check to see if there's already an article about the subject first.
- Check the list of wanted articles. This is automatically generated when two or more pages contain links to a page that doesn't yet exist.
- Expand on stubs.
- Rewrite crappy articles.
- Add images to articles, or upload better versions of wanted images. Make sure you give your image a detailed name instead of a bunch of symbols or numbers so search engines can actually find them and link to them easier.
- Browse though unused images and files and find homes for them. Do not delete or put death notices on duplicate images, use the {{duplicate}} template instead.
- Eliminate dead-end pages by adding links to other articles, preferably lonely ones.
- Categorize articles. We have a list of existing categories and a list of uncategorized articles. To add an article to a category, click that page's edit link and at the bottom of the entry, type [[Category: (name of category)]] and click "Save Page." Use the "Show Preview" button to make sure you typed a category that exists (red links mean you failed). Do not create new categories.
- Review opentasks for a complete list of anything else that needs to be done.
- Got a front page suggestion? Use these links to recommend Vidyas, Pix, Quotes, and Did You Knows. Sign your suggestions with 4 tildes (~).
- Rotate a Portal. The goal is to have each one changed once every two weeks or so.
