Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 29 May 2020
 | This edit request to Uncyclopedia has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
It is really confusing to findout if uncyclopedia is owned by Wikipedia Foundation or not. This could easily mislead people. I had to google and read few articles to clear this confusion. Please update the first sentence of the lede
- from
"Uncyclopedia is a website that parodies Wikipedia."
- to
"Uncyclopedia is a website that parodies Wikipedia, otherwise unrelated to wikipedia and it is not owned by the Wikimedia Foundation."
Rationale: This will appear in the "cursor hoover preview" (when someone hoovers the cursor on the pipelink within wikipedia) as well the "google search result summary" page. This will leave no scope for confusion, doubt, misrepresentation, scans, etc.

Done Rather than changing the lead, I've added the {{Not WMF}} hatnote template to the top of the article, which brings it into line with other sites like Fandom (website). Naypta โบ | โ talk page | 09:21, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Removing Fandom Inc. template?
I am currently questioning whether removing the Fandom Inc template located at the bottom of Uncyclopedia would be a good idea or no. This is because Uncyclopedia has not been affiliated with the aforementioned corporation for almost two years by this point, and therefore, doesn't really have a place there; however, it has been formerly affiliated for, depending on your take on Uncyclopedia's history, between 2006 and either 2013 or 2019.
As such... would removing the Fandom Inc template at the bottom of the page be something you would support or oppose? I'm just trying to gather consensus here. KevTYD (wake up) 15:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
I would check as regards precedent with other examples outside the world of Uncyclopedia. In other words, I don't know. Perhaps a Wikipedia admin would assist here? --Gepid (talk) 10:34, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Support removing the template, as per the above. KevTYD (wake up) 15:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)- Wikia was a host for a while; one fork left it in disgust, it dropped the other website later. The situation is comparable to having an article include a template for a television network on which a subject program no longer appears. Spike-from-NH (talk) 02:38, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
- Climbing off the fence. Remove Fandom template. --Gepid (talk) 14:56, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

- I've looked at it and joined the discussion, which should clarify it for you. (Have taken the liberty of revising the link above, as the discussion period was extended. Spike-from-NH (talk) 01:32, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
