Keep or remove mirror.uncyc.org?

The "mirror site" has no reliable sources pointing towards it, and I think it fails WP:N. Casspedia (talk) 13:41, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The mirror site was created by Carlb in I think 2006 when there were discussions on Uncyclopedia about setting up elsewhere outside Wikia/Fandom. I would say it is of historical reference. --Gepid (talk) 08:09, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Language sections

Why do we have all those language sections when we can just link to Uncyclopedia.info? 2001:4651:EC4A:0:8CE0:D146:9506:278C (talk) 17:07, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Uncyclopedia.info is the site hosted by CarlB. It contains the English "mirror site" which serves as an archive only. Much of the humor contained in those pages is completely outdated and has been removed on the other two updated sites, which are uncyclopedia.com and en.uncyclopedia.co. Uncyclopedia.org was updated to serve as a page to give the reader more information about both sites and visit either one without having to type a new URL.

how many sites does this article cover

It is not clear which one, or which ones, the article text talks about.

For instance, the lead claim "The English version has approximately 37,000 pages of content, second only to the Portuguese," is that about en.uncyclopedia.co or uncyclopedia.com?

CapnZapp (talk) 15:06, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both 'co' and 'com' uncyclopedias are over 37,000 articles. So the line could be changed to say both versions are in a similar position on article count. --Gepid (talk) 23:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can I upload a somewhat bigger screenshot?

I would like to overwrite the current screenshot with one in 640x360px. I find 320x159 to be a little bit destructive and hard to look at. Is it ok if I do that? AuroraANovaUma ^-^ (talk) 21:14, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
