[http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Rational WikiRationalWiki] is a skeptics' wiki. It was created as a negative reaction to [[Conservapedia]]. There have been some efforts to move it more in the direction of debunking, refuting, or poking fun at pseudoscience, religious fundamentalism, authoritarianism and other things that it doesn't like, per its stated mission statement:
# Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement.
# Analyzing and refuting crank ideas.
Line 30:
* [[The Fundamentalist]]: Described [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Fundamentalism here.]
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]:
** Rational WikiRationalWiki was created to criticize Conservapedia. Take a look at the recent changes and block log at Conservapedia. Then take a look at the recent changes and block log at Rational WikiRationalWiki. Take a look at the Rational WikiRationalWiki Chicken Coop. Which one is more rational?
** Rational WikiRationalWiki and Conservapedia both delve into [[Unfortunate Implications]] regarding their usual treatment of Christians and non-Christians, respectively, though Conservapedia is a lot harsher about it.
* [[Just for Pun]]: A regular feature
{{quote|"[http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Indigo_child Indigo child]" is not to be confused with "In dingo child", which is what your child might become if you misplace it in Australia.}}
* [[Kicked Upstairs]]: Any user who sticks around for a while and regularly makes edits will be saddled with the tedious responsibility of being a (ugh) Sysop.
* [[The Lab Rat]]: Rational WikiRationalWiki consists mainly of science geeks (with a few actual scientists and physicians scattered here and there). It is sometimes referred to as Rat Wiki, and its members are supposedly referred to as 'Rats' by those opposed to the site, although there is precisely zero evidence of anyone actually using this terminology.
* [[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context]]: As described in the [[Jack Chick]] article:
{{quote|This panel from a Chick tract makes even less sense in context. (It really does, [http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0094/0094_01.asp check if you don't believe us].) Also, goats.}}
