NAME uncyclopedia - a superior alternative to those pieces of shit at Wikipedia SYNOPSIS uncyclopedia [-abort|-retry|-ignore] [-search] [-edit] [-discuss] [-history] [-move] [-watch] [-blank] [-vandalize] [-lang:code] [-help] [-admin:[delete|block=user|rollback|protect]] [-random] [article] su -c "pkill uncyclopedia" use "uncyclopedia -help" to display a complete list of current options. DESCRIPTION Uncyclopedia is a Wiki-based encyclopedia, the basis for the design of another popular, but WAY less complete online encyclopedia called "Wikipedia", in the same way that Microsoft's pesky .chm (HTML Help) files are an inferior alternative to man(1). Uncyclopedia can be used to access information on all platforms that can interpret HTML into a human-readable format. Current versions of Uncyclopedia run on Unix, VMS, Windows 95/NT, Windows CE, BeOS, 386DOS, OS/2 EMX, MacOS 2, MacOS Y, Amiga, Commodore 64, Dynix, Minix, GNU Hurd, Etch-A-Sketch and certain versions of Abacus. OPTIONS At startup, Uncyclopedia will load the article specified on the command line. For help with locating an article, press "?" or "H" while running Uncyclopedia. Uncyclopedia will prompt you to create a new article if the article name you provide does not yet exist. This feature is excellent for quickly creating pages about your enemies and in-jokes that only your closest imaginary friends know. Uncyclopedia provides many command-line options. Some require special privileges, others can be used by anyone at any time. These are noted in the reference below. -search If this argument is used, Uncyclopedia will find the article name supplied within any article. This feature is a total waste of time, since Uncyclopedia can handle articles under every potential misspelling of every word without difficulty. -edit Edit an existing article. This provides an interface for changing all aspects of the article, from adding gibberish through removing content. -discuss Deprecated command is only used by administrators. Shows commentary about the named article regarding various revisions and reasons for these revisions. -history Shows a list of people who have modified the article and what they modified within the article. Only administrators tend to use this option, since old versions are never as good as the one you just amended with "OMG MY PENIS IS SO BIG". -move Quickest and easiest way to create useful redirects from random articles to other random articles in Uncyclopedia. Regular use of this parameter ensures that nobody will ever find what they're looking for where they expect to find it. Administrators love this one. -watch Keep track of articles you have seen in the past or written. Proper use ensures nobody else modifies your articles, possibly changing "OMG MY PENIS IS SO BIG" to "OMG I'M A RETARD" or an inferior version of the article. -blank Blank an article and remove any incorrect information it might contain. Use this parameter regularly on articles about your country of origin, favorite politicians, video games, and other extremely important articles. -vandalize If this parameter is used, Uncyclopedia will give you an interface that allows the quick modification of existing text to make it completely incomprehensible and remove any past, present, or future inaccuracies. -random Retrieve a random Zork page. -lang:code Use this to specify your preferred language for reading and editing Uncyclopedia. Defaults to en. -help Display quick help with common commands. -admin:[option] Controls Uncyclopedia articles and users based on the option provided. delete use to remove articles that a user spent hours of hard work on to get a message on your talk page so you feel important. block=user this will cause most users to join the IRC channel within 30–90 seconds where they will bitch and moan about how unfair the admin was or how it was their 'friend' that changed the article so they don't deserve it. rollback removes the last piece of important information, thought-provoking commentary, or otherwise brilliant prose from the specified article. protect keeps non-administrators from making Uncyclopedia articles better. ENVIRONMENT In addition to various "standard" environment variables such as NPOV, Uncyclopedia supports the following unique capabilities: HTBFANJS Directs you to a resource about writing and editing Uncyclopedia articles. HELP Contains information about a Beatles Album. Why you would ever want to read it is beyond the scope of this man(1) page. VILLAGE_DUMP A powerful tool for making your voice heard by those totally heartless members of the oligarchy. VFH Method by which you can select articles for the Uncyclopedia Main_Page. VFP Method by which you can select pictures to be placed on the Uncyclopedia Main_Page. VFD A location where you list all the best articles in Uncyclopedia to ensure the admins know to delete them. QVFD A location where you list all the absolute best articles in Uncyclopedia because you want to get the admins to respond to your opinion of the article more quickly than the weeks to months it takes with the VFD method due to excessive red tape. MAN PAGES man mount - don't tell me there's nothing suspicious about that. man cat - the end result of some process. man kill - what you will do with me, following the statements above. FILES /wiki/Main_Page Is a quick starting point for Uncyclopedia. This is the default article shown if none is selected on the command line. SEE ALSO allman(1), spork(8), whatis(1), Wikipedia(2) HISTORY 4 January 2006: Dawg <Dawg@VandalHunterCave> cleaned and converted article into the output of the original man page. 23 December 2005: CaptainSpam <captainspam@obligatory> resisted urge to add '-version', instead added '-random' option. 20 December 2005: Dawg <Dawg@VandalHunterCave> added a great deal of additional information, including parameters and new features in the latest version of Uncyclopedia. 14 December 2005: h2g2bob <h2g2bob@uranus> is responsible for unleashing this on the world. Shame on him.
