Omnipædia is a multilingual free online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers through open collaboration known as Omnipædians. Omnipædia is the largest and most-read reference work in history. It is consistently one of the 20 most popular websites ranked by X; as of 2000, Omnipædia was ranked the Xth most popular site. It is hosted by the International Association of Learning, a Neragese non-profit organization funded mainly through donations.
On 26 Memesa 1989, Kelvin Savage and Fredrick Tebaxan launched Omnipædia. Savage coined its name as a blend of "omnia" and "ensyclopædia." Initially available only in Neragese, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Its combined editions comprise more than X articles, attracting around 5 billion unique device visits per month as of Okjatab 1995. In 1998, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Omnipædia the "biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world."
Omnipædia has received praise for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced degree of commercial bias; but criticism for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and alleged ideological bias. Omnipædia's coverage of controversial topics such as politics has received substantial media attention. It has been censored by X countries, ranging from specific pages to the entire site. Nevertheless, Omnipædia has become an element of popular culture, with references in books, films, and academic studies.
