Folks Online Are Chuckling At These 27 Ridiculous “Edits” Of Wikipedia Pages As Shared By This Dedicated Twitter Page

Let's be clear on one thing. Wikipedia is an amazing tool for doing any kind of research. Sure, teachers and folk in general have good reason to warn people of how it can be unreliable—after all, it's run by users and dedicated editors. But if you're ever in doubt, check the resources. The internet can't alter that.

What it can do, however, is still have some harmless fun with it. Since anyone can write and edit anything on Wikipedia, it has become a bit of a sport among netizens to slip in details that wouldn't otherwise ever be present in an encyclopedic article. Note that this is considered a form of vandalism and if you are going to do it, do it how this Twitter page does it—in a harmless way with the Inspect Elements tool.

Yep, there is a Twitter page, appropriately called Wikipedia, But I Made Them Up, that "vandalizes" Wikipedia articles using a very harmless browser tool to make it look like it's the real thing, then takes a screencap of it and then everyone laughs at the pure absurdity of it all.

Bored Panda has gathered the best of the best posts found on the page and has created the neat little listicle for you to enjoy below. So, go vote, go comment, share the article with your funny friends, and above all, do not actually edit Wikipedia articles for the fun of it. We'll explain what you can do instead, if you insist on having some fun.
