Infogalactic

Infogalactic is an English-language wiki encyclopedia.[1]

Infogalactic was started in 2017 by Vox Day who believed that content creation on Wikipedia was influenced by "the left-wing thought police who administer it".[2][3] Initially, the entire contents of the English Wikipedia were copied to create the site, with the intent that users would gradually rewrite them over time to remove perceived bias.[3] It has been described as a version of Wikipedia targeted to alt right readers.[4][3]

Infogalactic is run on MediaWiki software.[3][5]
