Wikipedia is arguably the pioneer of the "Wiki" system that Wipipedia uses.
Wikipedia is an international project in many languages, with main servers in the USA and supporting servers in Europe and Korea. Like Wipipedia, it is a website based on MediaWiki that is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing articles to be changed by anyone with access to the website.

Perceived intolerance of the BDSM community
- Deletion of the Category "Kinky Wikipedians" on 18th December 2005 — There are many categories like this in Wikipedia:Category:Wikipedians, with ones such as politics, sexuality and political beliefs. BDSM however was the "last straw".
Selected quotes:
- "Because there's too much potential for being too offensive to too many people, because we don't need to get into arguments about which subcategories are or are not obscene, [..]and because the whold thing is just prurient." [Note: "whold" spelling error unchanged from quote] --Wikipedia:User:Herostratus
- "just about the worst thing that could possibly happen to Wikipedia is a news report about people actually using this category for serious purposes." [Note:A common misunderstanding by those outside the community that people who are "kinky" or interested in BDSM are somehow akin to the level of murderers and rapists] --Wikipedia:User:Scott Ritchie
- "I think this category name goes one notch too far" --Wikipedia:User:RlyehRising
