Someone is wrong on

The Internet

Log in:

RationalWikiWiki is a wikiproject created to analyze, on a meta-meta-meta level, RationalWiki. It was founded on 27 December 2007, and has laughable steadily improving production values.

It currently has a whopping bunch of content (over 12 - or more - articles on us!), including in-depth documentation of the notorious TK, Headless Chicken Mode, and the Great TK Banning Incident, as well as the ever-popular articles about the individual editors of RationalWiki. All of them full of crap relentlessly factual! Unfortunately, there are many editors it has no article on yet, or just has a mostly blank infobox with no content, signaling to many that it needs to get on the ball and make some more articles. Unfortunately, at the rate of editing currently seen on Rationalwikiwiki (less than 50 edits per week![1]), this could take some time. There are only about 7 active users, and all but one are bureaucrats.

Contents

Mesozoic era

The original RationalWikiWiki was founded by "Admin" at the wiki-farm editthis.info. It was epic fail, as it lacked certain commonly used extensions and the url misspelled the site's own name as "rationalwikiwki" due to character limits.

Upgrade

At "Hans Johnson"'s (widely known to be our Radioactive afikomen) initiative RWW was moved to another wiki-farm.

On March 17, 2008, Hans completed his blatant power grab improvement plan and moved the site to the wiki farm ScribbleWiki. There the url was, at long last, spelled correctly.

The ScribbleWiki server crashed soon after RWW moved for the second time (see below). Consequently all records of that version of RWW were destroyed.

RationalWikiWiki moved again in late July 2008, and now shares the same server as RationalWiki.

Hans's retirement

On the 2nd March, 2009, Hans Johnson retired after a massive reshuffle in the user rights which left a number of former janitors mere holyrollers[2] and put Phantom Hoover and Nx as the bureaucrats in charge, as they were the only ones with recent edits.

A while after that, Nx left, and Phantom Hoover became inactive. Nx made Arthropleura the leading 'crat, who then promptly started handing out user management rights like candy to everybody who was editing. Presumably horrified at the idea of a wiki being led by Arthropleura, Phantom Hoover became active again as a result. Together they ran the site in a manner reminiscent of a Republican Roman collegiality. Hans Johnson later revoked Arthropleura's cratship, leaving Phantom Hoover the only active bureaucrat and benevolent dictator of RationalWikiWiki.

Hans' return and stagnation

Following his stripping of Arthropleura of cratship, Hans attempted to reinvigorate the site by cratting Theemperor, but to no avail. The site stagnated and was used exclusively by MNpunkboy (Gooniepunk2010) and a troll he kept reverting. Eventually the troll's range was blocked and Han's Johnson promoted MNpunkboy to crat.[3] Through all this few, if any, articles have been written or expanded.

The enlightenment

Following MC's banishment from the Wiki, and MNpunkboy's bitch slapping back to sanity by an unidentified bunch of numbers[4], the Wiki was stagnant for a little while. However, MNpunkboy would call for a new, post troll warring era[5] and promote Conficker (who appeared out of the blue one day) to bureaucrat and change his username to "Punky McPunkersen"[6] to cement this. Slowly, the site began to rebuild itself, and seems, once again, to have returned to being the Wiki that watches RationalWiki.

The Age of Glorious Expansion

RWW has been growing quite rapidly recently, with many new articles created, and the removal of many artifacts left over from the RA era. There are also rumors of the possible purchase of RWW from the RationalWiki Foundation.
