RationalWiki

RationalWiki is a pseudo-science debunking wiki that has fairly high popularity for a Wikipedia knockoff. It has very few pages, perhaps explaining its low Alexa ranking relative to Wikipedia. But its pages rank very, very high on relevant search terms, meaning if you create a page for it, it will most likely get high SEO and a lot of readership.

Politics

Users are almost exclusively feminist, atheist, socialist and/or liberal. The wiki also came more SJW over time, and might as well just be a new SJWiki.org

Banning process

RationalWiki is mainly fun to write for because their owner values free speech. Extremely controversial writers are allowed to stay on the wiki more than other wikis would normally permit. It's egalitarian writing commitment also manifests in them automatically giving SysOp status to most of their userbase (or they used to do this, not sure if they still do this).

Activity

The wiki is mostly inactive, even less active than this wiki at times. Users generally don't care about topics outside political drama, meaning one can write about any non-dramatic topic pretty much without interruption.

But do they actually debunk pseudoscience?

Many of their pages are poor attempts at debunking pseudoscience. They partly chose to focus on combatting alternative medicine, but as a result went a bit too far in the opposite direction. Many of their pages seem like they could have been represented by a pharmaceutical representative. This is just one example.

Origin

The wiki was created as a reaction to the pseudoscience contained on Conservapedia, which was indeed rife with pseudoscience, with many vague references to Christian religious dogma as proof of various things. Not long afterward, people stopped taking Conservapedia seriously.
