Welcome to my user page!

I want to build a collaborative encyclopedia of imaginary subjects, like Wikipedia except that sources must be fictional or imaginary, and unlike Uncyclopedia in that humor or comedy is not a deciding factor for inclusion.

I call it Imagipedia. The articles in Imagipedia must be secondary sources based on imaginary or fictional primary sources. Imagipedia also includes the primary sources for the subjects of Imagipedia, in footnotes. The footnotes are fictional documents which in turn refer to the secondary sources, or imaginary subjects. For example, Footnote Three (Imagipedia) documents the history of Imaginews, the news section of Imagipedia. Imaginary subjects in Imaginews are articles in Imagipedia. The Footnotes are also subjects in imagipedia, but unlike the other subjects, they are documents or sources. This is why Imagipedia is named 'The Annotated Imagipedia.'

Appendicies to Imagipedia document the use of terms in the primary and secondary documents. For example, Fictionary will be a collaborative glossary of fictional or fictitious definitions used elsewhere in Imagipedia.

I hope that many will come to contribute to Imagipedia, once its purpose is well understood. If, in time, a majority of contributors decides that Imagipedia should be its own Wikicity, maybe we can request a new Wikicity for it, but until then it will be on the Novelas Wikicity.
