Wikipedia is a web-based free content (open source) encyclopedia that allows people to edit it. One of the major problems with the encyclopedia is how one can easily come in and add crap to it; at wikipedia, it's called "vandalism". YTMNDers have caught on to this for a while and have vandalized the site, submitting screenshots of their edits to YTMND. This has been called the Wikipedia Vandalism Fad. One of the most vandalized articles are the ones related to Safety Not Guaranteed. The fad has died due to the everybody knowing about Wikipedia's editing system—thus loosing its novelty—as well as Wikipedia's ability to reverse vandalism quickly.
