'''WikiMANNia''' is an Internet [[encyclopedia]] project in four [[language]]s. It is free of charge (it does not cost money to use). It is also "open content," which means anyone can copy it for any need, as long as they follow certain rules.

It is owned by Rainer Luka, who lives in [[Germany]].

Its name is a [[wikt:mix|combination]] of the two words ''[[wiki]]'', a Hawaiian word for quick, and ''[[man|mann]]'', the german word for man. Because the word was made by combining parts of those words, it is a [[wikt:portmanteau word|portmanteau]].

It was started on January 21, 2009 by Rainer Luka.<ref>WikiMANNia: [http://wikimannia.org/WikiMANNia:Impressum Impressum]</ref> It is a wiki that runs using the software MediaWiki (like as Wikipedia projects do).
Anyone can change the pages in WikiMANNia, or even make new ones, if he joined the editors team. WikiMANNia has the same standard format as Wikipedia that must apply for all pages in the encyclopedia.

As of October 2013, WikiMANNia has about 1,600 pages in german language, 150 pages in english language and 50 pages in spanish language.

== History ==

''WikiMANNia'' is a wiki designed for people who are looking for "feminism free" informations. WikiMANNia is a reaction to what its creators see as a "[[feminism|feminist]] [[Perspective (cognitive)|point of view]]" in [[Wikipedia]].<ref>WikiMANNia: [http://en.wikimannia.org/WikiMANNia About WikiMANNia]</ref> Most of the site is about [[family]] [[politics]], [[family law]], [[feminism]], [[genderism]] and [[men's rights movement]]. All articles are written from a [[antifeminism|antifeminist]] point of view.

On June 20, 2001 ''Jörg'' opened a forum under the name the "equality Forum" on Parsimony (Forenhosting). The "Yellow" as it is colloquially called, became the largest German speaking forum about masculism and antifeminism.<ref>WikiMANNia: [http://en.wikimannia.org/Wieviel_%22Gleichberechtigung%22_verträgt_das_Land%3F Wieviel "Gleichberechtigung" verträgt das Land?]</ref>
Since May 2006 the german Rainer Luka runs this forum on a own domain with the german name ''Wieviel "Gleichberechtigung" verträgt das Land?'' (''How much "equality" can the country stand?'').<ref>Wieviel "Gleichberechtigung" verträgt das Land?: [http://www.wgvdl.com/forum3/ wgvdl.com/forum3/] (german speaking forum)</ref>
In January 2009 he started german speaking WikiMANNia because of what he felt was [[feminism|feminist]] [[bias]] in [[Wikipedia]]. In August 2011 an english speaking version was added.

== Editing ==

Unlike Wikipedia, only invited people are allowed to contribute to WikiMANNia.<ref>WikiMANNia: [http://wikimannia.org/reg/reg.php?s=en Registration for editors]</ref>

== Objectives of the project ==

''WikiMANNia'' counteract the feminist bias, which divides the world in female [[victim]]s on the one and male [[perpetrator]]s on the other hand.

''WikiMANNia'' helps people to fight against family destroyers, providing arguments and documents.

''WikiMANNia'' think, keeping a "neutral position" (as [[Wikipedia]] says) in an open project with anonymous authors is illusory. Instead of "neutral position" anybody should give "his position". WikiMANNia gives the position of destroyed familys, victims of feminism and [[Men's rights movement|men's rights advocats]].

Feminist positions are over-represented in society because of the institutionalization of [[feminism]]. ''WikiMANNia'' sets beside the feminist tesis the antithesis as a decidedly anti-feminist position. The Pseudo-Science as [[Gender studies]], [[Woman's studies]], [[Queer's studies]] do not bring any gain in [[knowledge]], but ideological [[propaganda]].

== Reactions ==

[[Feminism|Feminists]] and [[white knight]]s (a woman defending male) don't like it.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130904040839/http://www.emma.de/ressorts/artikel/internet/wikiwomen-unite/ Internet: WikiWoman unite!
