The Antiwikipedia is a website that, as its name suggests, is in many ways the complete oposite of Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia.
There are no rules, no authority, no supervision, no alphabetical order. It's not meant to actually be any source of knowledge or reference.
The whole point is that anyone and everyone can pass by and add anything they want, edit anything they want, destroy anything they want, even spam.
(However, people seem to edit out spamming first hand).

In other ways the Antiwikipedia is similar to Wikipedia: it is free, and anyone can contribute by editing any article that is available or creating new ones.
However, you don't have to be a registered user to have any special privileges.; everyone has the same level of authority.

The name does not imply an inimical stance with respect to Wikipedia, but just a difference in principles.

The following is the introductory paragraph found at the Antiwikipedia's main page:

:Hi everyone!
The Antiwikipedia was originally created as a basis for free form artistic expression, web design,link sharing, and ending history by open sourcing all technology. Join a postpostmodern art movement while working to bring about a post-Hegelian dialectic. Feel free to contribute!

Antiwikipedia calls its articles meme.
Which is a single unit of cultural expression. However, since this concept has not been officialy established, a single entry its still called "article".

Login page and New User page


There is a Login and New user link and once you try to "become a user" it shows you a banner in red letters saying "you fucked up".
The meaning and purpose of the page is unsure, however; a quick look at the page source reveals that the page is just a dummy front.

Creating articles


Articles are classified in "domains".
Each domain is titled after two extremes.
The available domains are : Order/Chaos , Love/Hate and Beauty/Abomination.
If a user feels that his article doesn't fit any of these domains, the user can also create a new domain for everyone to use.

One significant differences between Wikipedia and the Antiwikipedia is the complete freedom to use HTML code.
Users can literally create a webpage from scratch in an article, provided that they have mastered HTML.

New Picture link


There is no available information on how to use this feature.
When trying to add a picture it shows you an error message. There is a collection of pictures available on the side panel under the menu, but it's unknown how to add pictures to this collection.

The Antiwikipedia software


It's obvious AntiWikipedia is not using the Wiki software made by the Wiki project.
They use basic HTML input and CCS language just like a message board would use. This gives room for numerous glitches.

Server downtime


The site is being hosted by not one but several servers in different sites that do not seem to be related to Antiwikipedia in their content.
(e.g., the picture collection is hosted by a site called "Harley Davison trader").
What this means is that the site itself is not handled as an official site but rather a hobby, letting the site collapse several times a day, thus giving some downtime.
