Wipipedia

The LondonFetishScene Wipipedia is a free source of information about the fetish and BDSM lifestyle, maintained by the fetish community for the fetish community. Entirely written collaboratively by volunteers, anyone can create or edit articles about any area that they feel they have knowledge about or a valid contribution to make (editors must be logged in). The content of Wipipedia is free, and released under a fairly non-restrictive copyright known as the GFDL.

Origins

The encyclopaedia was begun in March 2005 by the creators of the London Fetish Scene website and is still hosted by them. It has over 1,600 articles, including advice, stories, and descriptions of real-life experiences by Wipipedians. The Wipipedia attracts about 10,000 page views per day from around the world.

The name derives from a portmanteau of "whip" and "Wikipedia" (Wikipedia is the mainstream wiki encyclopedia). Pedants might suggest the name should be the LFS Wiki encyclopedia but the founders are into BDSM and like whips, so it was called the Wipipedia!

Distribution

Content from Wipipedia has been copied to other wikis, such as Wikipedia and Wikinfo, where it may or may not be amended. The "Wisdom Archive" also has text originating from Wipipedia.
