There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

Autopatrolled[edit]
Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, Autopatrolled has been added to your user rights. This lets you bypass most of the abuse filters, bypass the CAPTCHA, and edit more frequently. If you have questions, bleat ask away.
We hope you enjoy your newfound POWER — and these external tools:
- Google Scholar Button (Chrome, Firefox) searches your highlighted text in Google Scholar. Easily check academic citations!
- web.archive.org and archive.today, among other tools, can save permanent copies of webpages. Never lose a crank website or racist Tweet ever again! Carthage (talk) 13:19, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Sysop[edit]
Because of your edits to and time on the wiki, wizard Sysop has been added to your user rights. Feel free to let your newfound POWER course through your veins. Once the high wears off, see RationalWiki:Sysop guide for more information. If you have questions, bleat ask away. Carthage (talk) 11:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Protection[edit]
Perma-protecting mainspace pages should be dome in very rare circumstances and only when shorter periods of protection have repeatedly failed. Even if a page is targeted by a recurring vandal like EiK try weeks or months protection before perma. Plutocow (talk) 18:09, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Plutocow I did it on some pages after reverting edits by vandals in order protect them from vandalism. I consider short period vandalism inefficient because I think vandals will come back as soon as the protection expires. RationalThinker (talk) 20:01, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
When creating AfDs[edit]
Remember to update RW:Articles for deletion/log each time. Also, you probably don't need to AfD a bunch of similar articles at once, you can pick one and start a discussion on all of them in said AfD. Plutocow (talk) 16:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
