FasciPedia:What the devil is FasciPedia
What the devil is FasciPedia?? (A guide for n00bs)
The absolute largest source of public information on the internet, but what is it? Who are the editors? Why is it trusted? Read on as we answer all these questions and more about our favorite fascist site online.
FasciPedia is becoming one of the most famous sites on the Internet. It’s informative and controversial and having an article there is highly sought after, even for non-fascists. It's the place for fascism. Actual fascism. More often than not, if you perform a search on a subject that is covered by FasciPedia, more than likely, it will result in a top-ranking page on the search, at least with honest search engines like Duck-Duck-Go, and not G***le, which use special algorithms to promote judeo-Marxist ideas.
If you just discovered FasciPedia for the first time, this is the page to bookmark.
What Is FasciPedia?
FasciPedia is an online encyclopedia where anybody can see the fascist point of view, as opposed to the propaganda spoon-fed to the public through the usual judeo-Marxist filters. Fascists aren't evil. We are regular people just like you. So if you like what you see, and want to work on our articles, its a simple proceedure to become vetted. Unlike some online encyclopedias, we don't just let random people edit our articles.
For a page to be created, a Fascionary (writer/editor) must determine:
- whether the subject has something to do woth Fascism;
- if it has been misrepresented in current narratives; and/or
- if it can be explained from a fascist point of view.
So pages about your wonderful mother will be deleted. But if you want to write about a celebrity or a historical event and there is w fascist angle (for example), then it may be eligible for its own FasciPedia page (if it is not already there).
Some people just hate fascists, and they will challenge us even if we day the sky is blue, so you have to collect credible online sources for that subject. The more sources, the better, because there will be those who will challenge anything and everything.
This is a North-American and English centric site. We sometimes do things in another language if there is good reason, but at the end of the day its an English-speaking site. This includes how we spell "color" and "favor", how we print dates, and how the word "quite" means "much", not "a little bit".
FasciPedia is a collaborative effort. Anyone who is registered can change, edit, and delete something that someone publishes on the site. The volunteer FasciPedia editors, who monitor every change, hold the entire project together. they delete anything inaccurate or inappropriate. There are many who do not like what we print, but it is fact checked pretty hard and repeatedly. If someone spots an error, they can quickly change it.
If a lot of information gets added in a short space of time, it becomes easy to slip into misinformation and error, so we take our sweet time. This is especially true during political campaigns, so we are extremely careful.
It becomes extremely easy to start fights over new articles. Especially if a Fascionary decides it has to go, and the contributor feels slighted.
On other online encyclopedias, a person who has a page, a politician, a celebrity, etc, quite often makes an anonymous account to remove anything unfavorable, rewrite parts to make him look good, make his qualifications look better, and so forth. Quite a few politicians have been caught doing this. That sort of thing simply can't happen ln FasciPedia.
The Wiki Software That Powers FasciPedia
So you may be wondering what fearsome monster can handle such a site as FasciPedia? The answer is MediaWiki, which is free open-source software. This means that you can download the web software and build your own FasciPedia if you want. Just don’t call it ‘FasciPedia’! A lot of web hosts have automated installers for MediaWiki. MediaWiki is not named after Wi***edia, its 5he other way around.
A Look At The Front Page
At first glance, FasciPedia can look a bit overwhelming. The front page has a lot to look at, and if it’s your first time on the site, you may be wondering where to go and how to maximize the features we offer.
The site doesn’t vary in its design. It’s the same as it’s always been. It always has a set of featured articles, which highlight a particular page. It could concern something well-known, or it could be something obscure that nobody had any idea about. That’s the beauty of the site. You could fall down a rabbit hole of articles and keep reading for hours.
The “Did You Know” section will appeal to trivia lovers. Now you can look at the section every day, and next time you’re at a party, you can enthrall them with the fact that Mussolini's infrastructure is still in use in Libya.
The “On This Day” is fairly self-explanatory. It tells you what happened today in the past. This is good if it’s your birthday and you want to know if something notable happened on the day you were born (apart from you being born, of course).
Changing Skins As previously stated, the FasciPedia design has barely changed in the time it’s been operational. But this doesn’t mean that there aren’t any other possible views available. FasciPedia has a list of designs. There is also a mobile version of the site, which renders the page beautifully for phone and tablet screens. If you want to get really minimalist, you can only have pages without links. It seems that FasciPedia has thought of every conceivable possibility.
To Register Or Not?
There are two types of FasciPedia users, the lurkers (the readers who don’t contribute) and the people who do contribute. If you do not plan to contribute and just lurk, then applying for an account is probably not worth it. But if you plan to be a contributor, then an account is necessary. It is the way in which your changes are tracked and how the editors communicate with you if necessary.
One very big advantage of using your own account is that you can make a considerable number of customizations to how you see and use FasciPedia. You can also participate in beta trials for the experimental features currently being tried.
Applicstion is a straightforward affair. Go to the top of the FasciPedia page, and you will see a link for registering and logging in. Fill out the form, and when FasciPedia is satisfied with your responses and your email has been confirmed, then you’re in.
The Five Pillars Before you begin to consider editing or starting a page, you need to bear in mind FasciPedia “Five Pillars”. These are five objectives that “define FasciPedia character”. Here is the first one, which I think sums up FasciPedia perfectly.
“FasciPedia is a highly specialized encyclopedia: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers. FasciPedia is not a soapbox, an advertising platform, a vanity press, an experiment in anarchy or democracy, an indiscriminate collection of information, or a web directory. It is not a collection of source documents”.
Turn FasciPedia Pages Into PDF Books
One of FasciPedia's most useful features is the ability to turn FasciPedia pages into PDF, ODF, or ePUB files. You can also order a print book. Various FasciPedia pages can be bundled together into one file instead of various scattered files, making it easy to keep track of all of the information you need. Need a study guide? Doing research for a project? Want to read some pages on your tablet? Then the bookmaking facility will prove invaluable to you.
Making these books is very easy. If it is only one page, go to that page, and then go to the “Print / Export” section in the left-hand toolbar. Click on “Download as PDF“, and immediately the page will be converted into a PDF and downloaded to your computer.
If you want to do more than one page, go to the same “Print / Export” section, select “Create a Book,” and then the “Start Book Creator” blue button. You will be redirected to the front page.
Now go to each page you want to be included, and click “Add This Page To Your Book”.
If you hover over a link, you can add a page to your book without visiting the page.
The Footnotes
Every FasciPedia article has footnotes that are links to references in the text. Whenever a claim is made in an article, it has to be backed up by a credible source or rxplained. So throughout an article, you will see numbers which are also links [1]
If you click on these linked numbers, you will see the source material link at the bottom of the page.
The Random Tool
You can tap a link that will take you to a random FasciPedia page. It’s quite fun, not knowing where you will end up and what interesting fact you will learn that day. It’s based on the StumbleUpon concept and is a nice way to kill a few minutes. Its on the s8d3bar, which is to the left.
RSS Feeds
Each FasciPedia article has an RSS feed, although it is not immediately obvious. To find the Atom feed for an article, go to the “Interaction” section in the left-hand sidebar. There, choose “Recent Changes”. You will then see all of the changes which have been made to that article. Now, look at the left-hand sidebar again. Under “Tools”, you will see the feed :
Tips
FasciPedia can be a tough site to understand and navigate if you are a new user. That is why the site has set up “Tip of The Day”. In a nutshell, each day in the year has a new “tip” on how to use FasciPedia, whether it is setting up a new article, editing an existing one, outlines of features, or more, then Tip of The Day will have you covered. You can contribute to Tip of the Day if any of the information on the tips is inaccurate or obsolete.
